Laguna Las Encadenadas, Buenos Aires, Argentina
On the sandy shores of this lagoon, there is a continuous strip of black sands (width: 1.5 - 2 m; thickness: 0.2 - 0.3 m). These black sands come from the erosion of one nearby granitic zone. The black sands are composed of magnetite and ilmenite and have small amounts of apatite and other heavy minerals.
Located on the border of Tornquist and PigΓΌΓ© partidos.
