Abstract
This contribution describes and interprets features of a turbidite channel-fill in basinal facies of the Lower-Middle Jurassic Los Molles Formation, part of the synrift stage in the evolution of the Neuquen Basin, western Argentina (Mitchum and Uliana 1985; Uliana and Biddle 1988; Uliana et al. 1990).
