Origin and provenance of basement metasedimentary rocks from the Xolapa Complex: New constraints on the Chortis–southern Mexico connection

The U–Pb (LA-MC-ICPMS) geochronology of Xolapa metasedimentary rocks from Tierra Colorada, Guerrero to Puerto Ángel, Oaxaca in southern Mexico reveals that their protoliths accumulated in two distinctive cycles of sedimentation, one of Early Jurassic age and another of Late Cretaceous age. These age...
