Resumo

espanolSe describen diferentes microestructuras ubicadas en las cuarcitas de la Formacion Naposta (Devonico) de Sierra de la Ventana. Los autores reconocen tres tipos diferentes de estructuras: (a) pseudocilindros de cuarzo con contornos elipticos y sus consiguientes moldes; (b) estructuras escalonadas; y (c) micro-pliegues ajustados. Si bien son elementos diferentes, existe un rasgo comun y distintivo, que es su unificacion espacial, referida a sus rocas anfitrionas y las estructuras principales de estas. Los autores discuten para el tipo (a), tres posibles origenes: uno meramente organico, otro que involucra un simple cizallamiento que afecta rastros fosiles y el tercero que es meramente tectonico; para el tipo (b), se propone un origen de cizallamiento simple debido al desplazamiento de los microlitos a lo largo de los planos de escision; y para el tipo (c) se propone un origen analogo al de los pliegues mulions de Wilson (1953), es decir, en este caso particular, por simple cizallamiento de acuerdo a los planos verticales. EnglishNote about linear structures in the Napost Formation, Sierra de la Ventana, Buenos Aires Province (Argentina). Different microstructures located in the Naposta Formation quartzites (Devonian) of Sierra de la Ventana are described. The authors recognize three different types of structures: (a) pseudo-cilinders of quartz with elliptic contours and their consequent casts; (b) Step-like structures; and (c) tight microfolds. Even though they are different elements, there is a common and distinctive feature, which is their spatial onentation, referred to their host rocks and the major structures of this ones. The authors discuss for the (a) type, three possible origins: one merely organic, another which involves simple shear affecting fossil traces, and the third one which is merely tectonic; for the (b) type, a simple shear origin due to microliths displacement along cleavage planes is proposed; and for the (c) type, an analogous origin to that of the fold mulions of Wilson (1953) is proposed, that is, due to simple shear according to in this particular case vertical planes.
