Cambrian horses in the field Dionisio Blade (Uruguay)

The shear zone of Sierra Ballena (ZCSB) , is considered the western boundary of an allochthonous block by most writers from the definition of Land Blade Dionisio. The same method to the northern block NE of the city of Thirty- Three was applied. The geological map at 1:100,000 and 1:40,000 photogeology supported by field observations 140 covers an area of 3500 km2, allowed 525 Ma to discover that simultaneously produce sinistral megashear N30E, 80E and a mount (horse Amarillo ) with convergence towards the NNW . The megashear consists proto and ultramylonites petrológicamente being identical to ZCSB and age < 532 Ma The horse varies by rock type . On Micaela mica schist are ridden by gneisses and migmatites . In the center, the gneisses are rolled every few inches in W are ultramylonites sub - horizontal . The simultaneity of both phenomena is unexplained by head-on collision of cratons and explained by tangential collision from the SSE with tectonic transport to the north , representing a naturalistic aloctonía test
