40Ar/39Ar ages and paleomagnetic correlations using characteristic remanent magnetizations (ChRM) show that two main ignimbrite sheets were deposited at 4.86 ± 0.07 Ma (La Joya Ignimbrite: LJI) and at 1.63 ± 0.07 Ma (Arequipa Airport Ignimbrite: AAI) in the Arequipa area, southern Peru. The AAI is a 20–100 m-thick ignimbrite that fills in the...

The results of a paleomagnetic study along the fore arc of southern Peru (1518°S) and northern Chile (1819°S) are reported from middle to late Miocene ignimbrites (7 sites), late Oligocene to early Miocene ignimbrites (72 sites), Paleogene sediments (20 sites), and Mesozoic and Paleocene volcanics and intrusions (31 sites). Comparison of...
