Chapter 4

Abstract: The crystalline basement of eastern Colombia, east of the frontal deformation zone of the north Andean Eastern Cordillera, is comprised by Precambrian igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks of the western Guiana Shield. Designated in the late seventies with the all-embracing stratigraphic name of 'Mitú Migmatitic Complex', the age, petrology, and tectonic history of the Precambrian basement in eastern Colombia has remained one of the least explored issues in South American geology. This chapter aims to pr… Show more

“…Moreover, data presented by Arango et al (2012) show that stepwise-extracted Ar fractions do not plateau well, which may result from excessive recoil during the 39 K(n, p) 39 Ar reaction produced by irradiation, a complex thermal history, or the combination of both factors. The two possible events that may have generated a complex thermal history and that may have disturbed the K-Ar/ 40 Ar-39 Ar systems are: 1) the Cambro-Ordovician sedimentary cover in the area may have been quite thick, which would have resulted in a complex cooling history of the syenites or allowed the syenites to reheat during tectonic burial; and 2) an important thermal event may have affected the western margin of the Amazonian Craton during the Cretaceous, as suggested by the presence of basaltic dikes dated at 102 Ma in the Araracuara region (Ibáñez-Mejía and Cordani, 2020). Although these rocks have not been reported in the Guaviare region, currently available data prevent us from ruling out the presence of a recent thermal event (for example, Cretaceous) in the area.…”

“…In chapter 4, using isotopic data (U-Pb, Sm-Nd, Lu-Hf, and δ18O), Ibañez-Mejia & Cordani (2020) show that the western part of the Guiana Shield, which includes the Proterozoic basement of eastern Colombia, has crystallization ages ranging from ca. 1.99 to ca.…”
