  Tierra del Fuego Igneous and Metamorphic Complex (Chile) | |
Tierra del Fuego Igneous and Metamorphic Complex is a geological basement complex known from boreholes in northern Tierra del Fuego. [1] [2] The complex is made up of foliated igneous rocks of Cambrian age including orthogneiss. [1] [2] It underlies unconformably the Jurassic Tobífera Formation. The protoliths of Cordillera Darwin Metamorphic Complex are unrelated to Tierra del Fuego Igneous and Metamorphic Complex despite present-day proximity. [1]
