“…21.5) (Horton et al, 2002a;DeCelles and Horton, 2003;McQuarrie et al, 2005). A similar jump in the orogenic front may have promoted the hinterland growth phase of the Magdalena Valley basin in the northern Andes (G omez et al, 2003, 2005a, 2005bNie et al, 2010;Moreno et al, 2011).

“…The switch to foreland basin conditions in the Magdalena Valley was induced by initial shortening and crustal loading in the Central Cordillera (G omez et al, 2003, 2005a, 2005bHorton et al, 2010). Subsequent partitioning of this early Cenozoic foreland basin by shortening-related uplift of the Eastern Cordillera, as expressed in the detrital provenance record Moreno et al, 2011), produced an isolated hinterland basin that accommodated an additional 2-5 km of Neogene sediment (Van Houten and Travis, 1968;Van Houten, 1976).…”

Sedimentary basins have been generated in hinterland regions of the Andean and Himalayan-Tibetan orogens during Cenozoic plate convergence. These hinterland basins record nonmarine sediment accumulation (commonly in high-elevation, lowrelief, internally drained, arid/semiarid settings) during protracted deformation and surface uplift of continental crust. In South America, Andean hinterland basins are produced between the western magmatic arc and craton-directed fold-thrust belt to the east. In the India-Asia collision zone, hinterland basins develop as elements of the growing Tibetan plateau between the Himalayan thrust belt and Asian plate interior to the north. Hinterland sedimentary basins in the Andes and Tibet are distinguished from foreland basins adjacent to their respective fold-thrust belts by structural position, elevation, and stratigraphic evolution. Sediment accommodation in these hinterland basins is created by flexure, fault-induced subsidence, and topographic ponding, with common examples of remnant foreland basins succeeded by younger hinterland basins.

“…The depositional chronology is based on a new biostratigraphic zonation (Figure 3; Jaramillo et al, 2011). These data are integrated with an updated chronology of deformation based on basin analysis (Caballero et al, 2010;Parra et al, 2010;Moreno et al, 2011;Saylor et al, 2011;Bande et al, 2012;Ramírez-Arias et al, 2012), and bedrock and detrital thermo-and geochronology (Table 1). Bedrock thermochronology for deformed belts of the Andean retroarc system included apatite and zircon fission track analysis (AFT and ZFT, respectively; Parra et al, 2009b;Silva et al, 2013 and Table 2, data from this work) as well as apatite and zircon (U-Th)/ He analysis (AHe and ZHe, respectively) combined with vitrinite reflectance data Parra et al, 2012;Caballero et al, 2013a, b, Table 3).…”

“…Starting in the Late Cretaceous-Paleocene, punctuated eastward migration of the contractional deformation front ultimately inverted the rift basin (Gómez et al, 2005a;Parra et al, 2009a, b;Saylor et al, 2011). In the late Eocene-early Oligocene, the advancing thrust front broke the previously continuous foreland basin into the eastern Llanos and western Middle Magdalena Valley basins (Gómez et al, 2005a;Moreno et al, 2011;Saylor et al, 2011Saylor et al, , 2012aSánchez et al, 2012). The sedimentary record of the Llanos foreland basin is the product of these tectonic, climatic, and erosional processes in the hinterland.…”

“…De manera general la estratigrafía del VMM consiste de un basamento ígneo metamórfico de edades desde el Precámbrico al Paleozoico Inferior. Este basamento se encuentra suprayacido por una secuencia de rocas sedimentarias que van desde el Jurásico Tardío hasta el reciente (Schamel, 1991, Moreno, et al, 2011, Sarmiento L. F Rolón, 2004). Las principales características de la secuencia sedimentaria se pueden resumir como:…”

ResumenCon base en una revisión cartográfica en la zona central-este de la Cuenca VMM, la colección de datos estructurales y la elaboración de 3 cortes estructurales, se definieron 3 dominios estructurales en el área de estudio. El dominio este, dominio central y dominio oeste. El dominio este se caracteriza por la presencia de fallas inversas de alto ángulo y vergencia este, que involucran rocas Jurásicas. Los dominios central y oeste se caracterizan por la presencia de fallas inversas vergencia al oeste que involucran de manera general rocas del Cretácico inferior y rocas del Paleógeno-Neógeno. El corte regional muestra que las fallas del dominio este corresponden a estructuras con inversión tectónica evidenciadas por los cambios de espesor de la Formación Girón; estas estructuras se definen como un estilo estructural dominado por una deformación tipo thick-skinned. Las estructuras de los dominios central y oeste muestran fallas inversas con despegues y rampas en las unidades Cretácicas y Paleógenas dominadas por una deformación tipo thin-skinned. El modelo regional planteado muestra un estilo estructural divergente y difiere del modelo estructural reportado en estudios previos. En el presente trabajo se propone una zona transversal para explicar las variaciones en el estilo estructural del Valle Medio del Magdalena de sur a norte. © Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Ex. Fis. Nat. 2016.

Structural style variation related with basement anisotropies in the Middle Magdalena Valley AbstractBased on a cartographic review of the central-eastern zone of the MMV Basin, the collection of structural data and 3 structural cross sections, it was possible to define three structural domains in the study area: The eastern domain, central domain and western domain. The eastern domain is characterized by east vergent and high angle reverse faults, involving the Girón Formation. Central and western domains are characterized by west vergent reverse faults involving Lower Cretaceous to Paleogene and Neogene rocks. A regional cross section shows that faults in the eastern domain correspond to tectonic inversion structures evidenced by changes in thickness of the Girón Formation. These structures are defined as a structural style dominated by thick-skinned deformation type. Structures of the central and western domains are characterized by flat-ramp reverse faults in the Cretaceous and Paleogene units dominated by thin-skinned deformation type. The regional model proposed shows a divergent structural style and differs from the structural model reported in previous studies. In this paper we propose a transverse zone to explain variations in the structural style of the Middle Magdalena Valley from south to north.
