The high values in the relation
Sr87/Sr86 with an order of 0,70877 - 0,71065 in the Metatonalita
of Puquí (Ordóñez and Pimentel, 2001a), estimate a source pri-
mary old continental crust which coincide equally with the Neís of
Puquí, confirming a common cortical homogeneous source. These
values coincide with those showed by Aspden et al. (1992 a), with
the type S granitoids of the Cordillera Real. The values showed
for εNd (248Ma) point for the Metatonalita of Puqui (Ordóñe

"Metatonalita" has something to do with "tonalita"

Field relations within Hospitais Massif: A) Elliptic flattened enclaves parallel with the
main tonalitic foliation, B) Development of LTL, cutting the tonalitc foliation, C) Development
of a LTH around the microgranular mafic enclave
