KlappentextThis book provides a comprehensive overview of the geological evolution of the Northern Andes and contiguous shield areas, with a focus upon Colombia. Updated geological interpretations are supported by modern lithogeochemical, seismic, gravity and magnetic data and radiogenic isotope and radiometric age determinations. The composite data permits a detailed interpretation of the tectono-magmatic history of the Northern Andean Block, including the Andes of Colombia, northern Ecuador, western Venezuela and eastern Panamá.Tectonic reconstructions based upon characterization of more than thirty litho-tectonic and morpho-structural units, terrane assemblages and tectonic realms, and their bounding suture and fault systems, highlight the intimate and complementary Mesozoic-Cenozoic history of the Northern Andean Block and the Pacific and Caribbean Plates.The complex nature of Northern Andean assembly contrasts with classical´´ Central Andean Cordilleran-type´´ orogenic models. Differences render the application of typical Cordilleran-type models inappropriate for the Colombian Andes.The importance of underlying Proterozoic through mid-Mesozoic elements, in the development of Meso-Cenozoic Northern Andean orogeny-phase tectonic configurations is analyzed in the light of spatial-temporal studies and reconstructions related to basin formation, sedimentation, deformation, uplift mechanisms, structural style and magmatic evolution. The pre-Andean architecture of north western South America has played a pre-determinative role in the development of the Northern Andean orogenic system. 16 contributions analyze key stratigraphic, structural, metamorphic, magmatic and tectonic questions, and provide solutions as far as the most recent published field-based studies permit. The volume provides geological interpretations and tectonic models which contrast with repetitive theoretical proposals frequently found in the available literature.
Zusammenfassung
occurrences at the regional through district and deposit scales
Offers a new data-supported definition of the Northern Andean Orogeny and its relationship with the Pacific Plate, Caribbean Plateau and the Panamá-Chocó Arc
Provides the first comprehensive overview of the geology of the NW corner of South America, i.e. the Northern Andean Block
Depicts key Proterozoic - Phanerozoic tectonic events documented by field stratigraphic and structural surveys, as well as geophysical studies
Presents for the first time a complete picture of the magmatic (lithogeochemical, radiogenic isotope, U-Pb radiometric age) evolution of the region, spanning the entire Phanerozoic.
Includes complete supporting age, lithogeochemical and isotope data (including XYZ sample coordinates), and new structural field transects, in composite digital appendices, within spreadsheets and detailed geological cross sections
Includes a detailed tectono-metallogenic analysis of the Colombian Andes in time and space, including precise age determinations, alteration and paragenetic studies, metallotect reconstructions and detailed descriptions of many important, previously undocumented precious- and base-metal
