On the lag time between internal strain and basement involved thrust induced exhumation: The case of the Colombian Eastern Cordillera

Structural analysis of the Bogotá Anticline, Colombian Eastern Cordillera: Implications on deformational styles of the Llanos Foothills

“…However, the structural style proposed here is very different compared with the fault bend folds and fault propagation folds suggested by Dengo and Covey (1993) and closer to the style proposed by Kammer (1996Kammer ( , 1997, Kammer and Mora (1999), Mora and Kammer (1999) and Tesón et al (2013). Moreover, the age of this folding could be Oligocene, as suggested by correlations between folding, fracture patterns and temperature of fracture formations obtained with fluid inclusions and fission track data in apatite realized by Mora et al (2013b). This type of folding also characterized the early (i.e.…”

“…This type of folding also characterized the early (i.e. Oligocene) evolution of the Eastern Cordillera, which occurred under lower rates of deformation and below more than 6 km of overburden (Mora et al 2013b;De la Parra et al 2015). This model of evolution and the observed geometries, with less shortening, do not coincide with Dengo and Covey (1993) styles.…”

“…Mora et al (2010aMora et al ( , 2013a; Figure 2b) further employed thermochronological analyses to demonstrate that this behavior can be related to the inversion of the entire Neocomian graben of the Eastern Cordillera. In addition, Mora et al (2013b) use fracture patterns, fluid inclusions, and thermochronology to document several locations with Oligocene low-amplitude folding in the Eastern Cordillera and in coeval growth strata (Figure 14; Mora et al, 2013a). The study covers western and eastern sectors of the Eastern Cordillera, in the Magdalena and Llanos Foothills, respectively.…”

“…With the dawn of the XXI century, techniques such as geochronology and lowtemperature thermochronology have become more precise and modeling approaches have become more sophisticated, providing higher resolution timing constraints on tectonic events and episodes of exhumational cooling in the upper crust. In recent years, pioneering studies (Figures 2, 3) have highlighted the role of low temperature thermochronology (Mora, 2015;Mora et al 2010aMora et al , 2013aMora et al , 2013bMora et al , 2015aMora et al , 2015bParra et al, 2009aParra et al, , 2009bParra et al, , 2010Parra et al, , 2012Saylor et al, 2012a;Spikings et al, 2000Spikings et al, , 2001Villagómez et al, 2011aVillagómez et al, , 2011b and detrital geochronology (Caballero et al, 2013a(Caballero et al, , 2013bHorton et al, 2010aHorton et al, , 2010bHorton et al, , 2015Nie et al, 2010Nie et al, , 2012Saylor et al, 2011Saylor et al, , 2012bSaylor et al, , 2013Silva et al, 2013) in the Cretaceous to Cenozoic evolution of the northern Andes. Paleoelevation techniques have also become more sophisticated, but their use has been limited in the tropical northern Andes (Anderson et al, 2015) relative to their use in the arid central Andes (Garzione et al, 2017;Saylor & Horton, 2014).…”

Aplicaciones de la termocronología por trazas de fisión en Venezuela: Estado actual, perspectivas y visión integradora

“…Generación de petróleo y gas 0,80<R 0 <1,0 Craqueo de petróleo a gas 1,0<R 0 <2,5 Generación de gas seco Entre las principales aplicaciones del método de trazas de fisión en apatitos en la industria petrolera se tienen: 1) datación de la formación de trampas; 2) estimación del tiempo de exhumación de las cocinas para saber cuándo se dejó de generar petróleo (Mora et al, 2010(Mora et al, , 2013; 3) estimación de la máxima temperatura alcanzada, e inferencia de la edad del proceso de generación.…”
