This paper presents a synthesis of the advances in the geologic knowledge of the late Paleozoic basins of southern South America during the last decade. The information is focused on: i) progress in paleogeographic models and new perspectives, ii) distribution of late Paleozoic glacial deposits, sedimentary models and identification of discrete events, iii) paleoclimatic evolution and pieces of evidence of the transition from icehouse to extrema greenhouse conditions, iv) volcanism along the paleo-Pacific margin, v) refinements of biozones and biostratigraphy based on paleobotany and palynology and vi) advances in biostratigraphy using marine invertebrates.

南美洲晚古生代盆地：过去十年的见识和进展

本文介绍了过去十年中南美洲南部晚古生代盆地的地质知识进展。这些信息的重点是：i）古地理模型和新观点的进展，ii）晚古生代冰川沉积的分布，沉积模型和离散事件的识别，iii）古气候演变以及从冰室到极端温室条件的证据。 ； iv）沿古太平洋边缘的火山活动； v）基于古植物学和孢粉学的生物带和生物地层学的细化，以及vi）使用海洋无脊椎动物的生物地层学的发展。
