From crustal thickening to orogen-parallel escape: the 120 Ma-long HT-LP evolution of the Paleozoic Famatinian back-arc, NW Argentina

Exposed sections of accretionary orogens allow reconstruction of their tectonic evolution. Most commonly, orogens are characterised by two-dimensional shortening perpendicular to the orogenic front...
