Scientific paper

Three samples from a Triassic-age batholith in the eastern Andes northeast of La Paz, Bolivia yield apatite fission-track ages of 11-13 Ma. Interpreting these young ages as due to uplift and erosion requires approximately 2.5-5.0 km of erosion in the past 12 Ma, an amount which is consistent with the known geology and which is typical of many active mountain ranges.
Editor's note: Tom Crough died on December 3, 1982 before he had a chance to see the reviewers comments about this paper. I am grateful to Henry Pollack of the University of Michigan for editorial help.
