Abstract
The stratigraphy, petrology, metamorphism, and structural geology of a portion of the glaciated central Venezuelan Andes were studied in an attempt to decipher the metamorphic and tectonic history of the region. Three distinct rock sequences were recorded: (1) the amphibolite grade metamorphics of the Sierra Nevada Formation, (2) the greenschist grade metasediments of the El Aguila Formation, and (3) the sedimentary rocks of the Cretaceous sequence of western Venezuela.
