Arequipa–Antofalla Craton
The Arequipa-Antofalla craton or terrane is a basement unit underlying the central Andes in northwestern Argentina, western Bolivia, northern Chile and southern Peru. The Arequipa-Antofalla craton collided and amalgamated with the Amazonian craton about 1000 Ma ago during the Sunsás orogeny.[1]
