The Middle Jurassic Papudo-Quintero plutonic complex in central Chile

These datasets include structural data, geochemical data, U-Pb geochronologic data, and (U-Th)/He thermochronologic data from the Papudo-Quintero plutonic complex in central Chile (near 32.5°S) and form the basis of a paper by the same authors in the journal Tectonics (Singleton et al., 2024). This study documents three deformation events (D1, D2, and D3) in the ~173–164 Ma Papudo-Quintero complex. D1 records ductile NW‐SE transpressional shortening in the Middle Jurassic that is consistent with regional oblique subduction convergence and localization of plate‐driven strain in the active magmatic arc. D2 records Late Jurassic N-S extension in a transtensional regime, whereas D3 records Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous NW‐SE to N‐S shortening in a strike‐slip regime.
