Influence of salt in the tectonic development of the frontal thrust belt of the eastern Cordillera (Guatiquía area, Colombian Andes)
Abstract Geologic maps, seismic profiles, and structural field data are used to constrain a structural cross section of the eastern Cordillera of Colombia, the Medina–Utica transect, from the Llanos to the middle Magdalena Valley forelands. The Medina–Utica transect illustrates the geometry and kinematic evolution of a continental back-arc region that evolved from rifting to compressional mountain building because of changes in the dynamics of the subduction zones nearby. As other orogens formed by rift inversion, the eastern Cordillera shows intense thrust deformation in the foothill margins, associated with the reactivation of the main former extensional margins, and an orogen interior with comparatively less deformation and relief (the Sabana de Bogota Plateau). While the orogen margins are dominated by basement-involved thick-skinned thrusting, the Sabana de Bogota is interpreted as a salt-detached fold belt with a basal decollement in lower Cretaceous evaporite at a depth of ca 4 km (2.4 mi). Anticlines in the Sabana de Bogota are interpreted to have formed as diapiric salt walls during the pre-orogenic rifting, later squeezed and welded during the Andean shortening, together with syntectonic sedimentation and halokinetic sequence development. A sequential restoration of the cross section to selected time steps based on a wealth of tectonics-sedimentation and thermochronological data enables to track the evolution of orogenic deformation. The total shortening in the Medina–Utica transect is calculated as 82 km (50.9 mi) (27% of the predeformed length). Compressional deformation in the area started probably near the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary, manifested by localized folding and faulting in the Sabana de Bogota and foothills, much guided by the weak salt horizons. Evidence for gentle folding and thrusting persists through the Paleogene at low rates of <0.5 mm/a. By the Neogene the mountain belt was in full accretion, and rapid shortening at rates near 3 mm/a was accommodated by thrusting in the outer margins of the former rift system. The eastern Cordillera of Colombia exemplifies a pattern of tectonic evolution of inverted rifts in which deformation commences in the basin interiors in a distributed way, strongly controlled by weak stratigraphic units, and evolves to a point when intense shortening is shifted into the weak faults at the rift margins. This gives rise to prominent mountain topography, rapid erosion, and fast sedimentation in the forelands.
What Drives Orogenic Asymmetry in the Northern Andes?: A Case Study from the Apex of the Northern Andean Orocline
Abstract We present the results of 59 new apatite fission tracks (AFT), 24 new vitrinite reflectance analysis, and 154 new He thermocronometric analysis from the eastern flank of the Colombian eastern Cordillera at lat7° N to constrain the roles of plate tectonics, tectonic inheritance, and surface processes in building the Cocuy syntaxis. The Cocuy syntaxis is the region with the highest structural and topographic relief in the eastern Cordillera. The primary factor controlling that is faster tectonism, apparently related to the most important Panama collision at 4 Ma. This push from behind is focused between two resistant plates and escapes toward a weak foreland plate, which is able to flex. However, we document new Pliocene and younger AFT ages in the eastern side of the eastern Cordillera, which are related with focused and faster exhumation in the eastern flank. We suggest that this episode is responsible for the limited advance of the deformation front as basement-involved blocks. In addition, faster denudation causes faster sedimentation rates in the weak foreland plate east of the Cocuy syntaxis. In this case, the thick pile of Neogene synkinematic sediments would have limited thin skin deformation migration.
Formation of passive-roof duplexes in the Colombian Subandes and Perú
Abstract The Magdalena Valley fold-and-thrust belt is a tectonic province associated with inverted rift zones. This belt displays a narrow and discontinuous deformation front indicating association with inversion tectonics. We show the differences with an analogue belt on the eastern side of the Eastern Cordillera (Llanos foothills). To do that we use structural data (seismic, wells and geological maps) which characterize different structural geometries as well as palaeocurrents, provenance and thermochronology to analyse the timing of deformation. The new datasets allowed us to detect that inversion is limited whenever the stresses are more orthogonal to the rift structures, whereas the mountain front is more segmented in comparison to the Eastern Foothills because of the absence of a continuous low basal friction detachment horizon and a pronounced eastwards basement dip. These two factors favoured fault hard linkage. It is remarkable that, in spite of the distinct segmentation, all the different segments in the Magdalena belt are coeval.

Abstract The inversion of Mesozoic extensional structures in the Northern Andes has controlled the location of syn-orogenic successions and the dispersal of detritus since latest Maastrichtian time. Our results are supported by detailed geological mapping, integrated provenance (petrography, heavy minerals, geochronology) analysis and chronostratigraphical correlation (palynological and geochronology data) of 13 areas with Palaeogene strata across the central segment of the Eastern Cordillera. Spatial and temporal variation of sedimentation rates and provenance data indicate that mechanisms driving the location of marginal and intraplate uplifts and tectonic subsidence vary among syn-orogenic depocentres. In the late Maastrichtian–mid-Palaeocene time, crustal tilting of the Central Cordillera favoured reverse reactivation of the western border of the former extensional Cretaceous basin. The hanging wall of the reactivated fault separated two depocentres: a western depocentre (in the Magdalena Valley) and an eastern depocentre (presently along the axial zone of the Eastern Cordillera, Llanos foothills and Llanos Basin). In late Palaeocene–early Eocene time, as eastern subduction of the Caribbean Plate and intraplate magmatics advanced eastwards, reactivation of older structures migrated eastwards up to the Llanos Basin and disrupted the eastern depocentre. In early Eocene time, these three depocentres were separated by two low-amplitude uplifts that exposed dominantly Cretaceous sedimentary cover. Syn-orogenic detrital sediments supplied from the eastwards-tilted Central Cordillera reached areas of the axial domain of the Eastern Cordillera, whereas unstable metamorphic and sedimentary fragments recorded in the easternmost depocentre were supplied by basement-cored uplifts with Cretaceous and Palaeozoic sedimentary cover reported in the southern Llanos Basin. This tectonic configuration of low-amplitude uplifts separating intraplate syn-orogenic depocentres and intraplate magmatic activity in Palaeocene time was primary controlled by subduction of the Caribbean Plate. Supplementary material: Appendix 1 presents detailed descriptions of analytical methods used in this manuscript. Appendixes 2 to 4 include raw data of sandstone petrography, heavy minerals and U–Pb detrital zircon geochronology, respectively. All this material is available at http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/18597 .
Abstract A combination of new surface and subsurface structural data, new stratigraphic data on conventional provenance, facies and palaeocurrents, low-temperature thermochronology and detrital zircon U–Pb provenance data provides a comprehensive account of the timing of deformation in the intermountane Middle Magdalena basin of the Central Colombian Andes, and allows evaluation of the style of foreland basin deformation associated with tectonic inversion. This robust dataset enabled documentation of focused tectonic activity in two competing low-relief basement structures to the east and west of the present Middle Magdalena Valley during the Palaeogene, earlier than previously recognized. Cenozoic sediment accumulation of a sedimentary pile up to 7 km thick in the Middle Magdalena Basin created a large original taper angle in this part of the north Andes. At that time, when the detachment rocks were deeply buried, the original larger taper angle facilitated the forelandward advance of deformation instead of promoting its stagnation.
