Cerro Aspero Batholith

Cerro Aspero Batholith (

texture that is equigranular but varies from coarse grained to porphyritic.^[1]

The emplacement of plutons occurred in the Middle to Late

Contact aureoles for the batholith are, contrary to other batholiths, largely undeformed.^[1] The relation of the magmatic episode represented by the Cerro Aspero Batholith to the Famatinian orogeny is not fully understood. Alternatively it is grouped as a "Achaliano" igneous cycle.^[1]

Vertical to near-vertical veins of fluorite formed in the Cretaceous occur in the batholith. At most veins reach 3 meters in thickness. Collectively these veins constitute the largest reserves of fluorite in the whole Sierras Pampeanas area.^[2]
