“…These data also support a fore-arc basin setting in which both the oceanic and continental affinity, Upper Cretaceous magmatic arcs were being eroded and providing sediment for the marine basin to the northwest. Though evidence of Paleocene to early Eocene magmatism has not been yet found in the LMV and SJFB, it is likely that plutons of such ages exist, considering that Paleocene to early Eocene magmatism has been documented in surrounding areas such as the northern CC (Paleocene Sonsón Batholith, Bayona et al, 2012;Bustamante et al, 2017), the SNSM and the Guajira peninsula to the north (Cardona et al, 2014). If the SNSM and the northern CC were connected, as interpreted by Montes et al (2010) and Mora et al (2017), and if both the northern CC and the southern SNSM were being uplifted in the late Paleocene (Restrepo et al, 2009;Villagómez, Spikings, Mora, et al, 2011), then the most likely sources for the sediments of Sequence 2 were the ancient northern CC and southern SNSM, located to the east and southeast of the SJFB in early Eocene times.…”
