GONZALEZ, Osvaldo Edgar. Juan Rassmuss (1886-1971): his contribution to the Argentinie geology. Ser. correl. geol. [online]. 2008, n.24, pp.137-150. ISSN 1666-9479.

Dr. Rassmuss stayed in Argentine between 1912 and 1926, where he made several investigations in the field of regional geology like in the areas of Aconquija and Candelaria ranges, Metán basin, south of Bariloche and many others. He studied the geology, hidrogeology and morphology of the Velasco Range as a consequence of a great decrease in the volume of water of La Rioja river. He evaluated the coal discoveries of the country and studied different zones with lignite where he remarks the geology, structure and the possibilities of this resource. He studied the veins of Rafaelita in Neuquen and described an exploration oil drilling in Tartagal, where he interpreted the stratigraphy and structure of Subandinas Ranges. Also he analyzed the geology, structure and genesis of Rosario de la Frontera hot springs.
