Comments on the geologic information

  • EN LA ZONA AFLORAN ROOCAS SEDIMENTARIAS, IGNEAS Y METAMORFICAS. LAS ROCAS SEDIMENTARIAS ESTAN REPRESENTADAS POR POR CALIZAS GRISES, ARENISCAS, LUTITAS INTERCALADAS CON DERRAMES ANDESITICOS, DACITICOS PERTENECIENTES A LA FORMACION PARIAHUANCA-CHULE-PARIATAMBO. LAS ROCAS IGNEAS ESTAN CONSTITUIDAS POR UN INTRUSIVO GRANODIORITICO , QUE AFLORA EN LAS PARTES BAJAS DE LA QUEBRADA TUCU. LAS ROCAS METAMORFICAS LO CONFORMAN LAS CUARCITAS, TACTITAS QUE SE HAN ORIGINADO POR EFECTOS TERMODINAMICOS DE LA FORMACION SEDIMENTARIA. EN DETERMINADAS AREAS DE JHON RAFAEL, SE HA PRODUCIDO UN JUNTURAMIENTO Y TRITURAMIENTO (CRAQUELAMIENTO) CONSPICUOS.
