At the end of the nineteenth century there were attempts to summarize the geology of our country in a single work, but knowledge was still embryonic. It was not until 1931 that Alselm Windhausen produced the first Argentine Geology. It was an extraordinary work due to its comprehensive development and the effort to describe the stratigraphy from the Precambrian to the Quaternary in great detail based on personal observations and an exhaustive analysis of previous works. It was the textbook for several generations of students and a reference work for geologists for decades. A second attempt was made by Armando Leanza in 1958, whose description is approached through the recognition of different morpho-structural units, and the geology is presented by regions. In 1965 Wolfgang Volkheimer tried to make a multi-author Argentine Geology, bringing together the referents and specialists of the different disciplines. However, he was not successful as he was unable to finish the three scheduled volumes. This last attempt motivated the National Academy of Sciences to undertake a multi-author book under the coordination of Armando Leanza as editor. The work was completed and published in 1972 with the participation of twenty-eight authors. The presentation and analysis were carried out with the description of regions proposed by Leanza. The success obtained led to a new update presented in two extensive volumes edited by Juan C. Turner and published in 1979–1980. Sixty-four authors participated in this work, also addressed from a regional point of view. Finally, the National Geological Survey published the latest Argentine Geology presented according to a stratigraphic order. It was edited by Roberto Caminos in 1999 with the participation of 128 authors.
