Abstract
Geochemical processes in soft immature rocks of the Asunción area are studied through X-ray fluorescense analysis of some trace and minor elements used as provenance indicators. Good correlation between light rare earth elements and other refractories were found and that the analytical data suggest inter alia an overall stable continental area setting.
