Estratigrafía del cráter y morfología del volcán Cerro Machín, Colombia

Abstract: RESUMEN El Volcán Cerro Machín (VCM) se localiza en el flanco oriental de la Cordillera Central de Colombia a 17 km al occidente de la ciudad de Ibagué (Tolima). El VCM es un volcán Holocénico de composición dacítica, con evidencia de grandes erupciones (VEI 5). Estratigráficamente, en las paredes internas del cráter es posible observar una secuencia de depósitos de Corrientes de Densidad Piroclástica (CDPs) diluida con características de depósitos de oleadas basales. La presencia de líticos accidentales evide… Show more

“…Rocks from NSI are compositionally similar to nearby Nevado del Ruiz stratovolcano (Martínez et al, 2014). In order to further understand the geochemical variations along strike, we also analyzed newly collected samples from the southernmost composite volcano, Cerro Machín (CMV), a 0.5-0.09 ka intra-crateric dome structure with associated plinian deposits located 40 km to the south of NSI (Laeger et al, 2013;Piedrahita et al, 2018) and from an adjacent small dome structure (sample MOR-01), which is considered here to be genetically related to CMV based on its composition.…”

“…We used GEOMODELER 2 to design a model adapted to the Cerro Machín topography. We also considered a geological survey carried out, 2D sections from interpreted geological maps (Cepeda et al, 1995;Mosquera et al, 1982;Piedrahita et al, 2018) and rock samples taken from the current crater, in the dome and the areas associated with fumaroles of the volcano. Figure 3 shows the geological model of Cerro Machín used to create the density model.…”

“…Pyroclastic flow deposits and lahar deposits have been found up to 40 km and 109 km distance from the volcano, along the Coello and Magdalena rivers, respectively. The most recent eruption of Cerro Machín volcano was recorded approximately 800 years ago [IN-GEOMINAS 2003;Cortés Jímenez et al 2006;Gómez Tapias et al 2016;Piedrahita et al 2018].…”
