posttectonic granitoids, (2) lower crustal P wave velocities of 7.3–7.7 km s � 1 compatible with underplated mafic crust, and (3) results from recent experimental petrologic work showing garnet stability in mafic mineralogies � 12 kbar (� 40 km crustal thickness). Analogous to older Andean magmatic episodes in north Chile, newly underplated basaltic crust may account for the remaining deficit in Neogene crustal thickening. Similar evolutionary patterns in geochemistry and initial Sr and Nd isotopic characteristics of Andean (200 Ma to present) magmatic rocks suggest that the Andean orogeny in this region evolved by a combination of processes of repeated arc migration, tectonic and magmatic crustal thickening, and igneous recycling which was controlled by periodically changing plate convergence rates and obliquity and corresponding changes in the rheologic behavior of the continental crust.
