INTRODUCTION 1988). However, some researchers treat these Great Arc components as separate entities, given that they appear to have different tectonic histories and have started as The tectonic evolution of NW South America, individual arc systems at different times during the between the Permian and Late Cretaceous-Paleogene, Cretaceous through Paleogene (E.g Wright & Wyld was related to the complex interaction of South 2011; Xie & Mann, 2014). American, Caribbean (Plateau and proto-Caribbean) and Farallones plates. The Permian recorded the Pangaea consolidation and the Allaganian Mountains generation Finally, and also valid for both, the autochtonous and (Condie & Sloan, 1997; Yañez, Ruiz, Patchett, Ortega- the allochtonous models during the Cenozoic the region Gutierrez, & Gehrels, 1991). During the Triassic, the is characterized by accretionary prisms occurence, post-Alleganian event marked the rifting onset between which NE oriented faults activation and small oceanic Gondwana-Laurentia. Meanwhile, for the Jurassic- crust sections attached to the continental margin of Late Cretaceous intra-continental rift (E.g. Cediel, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela, suggest a behavior Shaw, & Caceres, 2003 Pindell & Kennan, 2009) or similar to an active margin (E.g. Santamaría & Schubert, extensional subduction scenarios (E.g. Aspden et al ., 1974; Duque-Caro, 1984; Taboada et al ., 2000; Vallejo 1987; Villagómez et al ., 2011; Cochrane et al ., 2014) et al ., 2006; Cerón, Kellogg, & Ojeda, 2007; Mantilla- have been set out. Two tectonic models explain the Pimiento, 2007; Toro, Gómez, & Moreno, 2014). geological evolution in the area after these events. First, the allochthone-related models that suggest a At the north of Colombia (Figure 1), evidence of an Caribbean plate origin (Plateau) linked to the Pacic active continental margin during the Late Cretaceous, Plate geological history (E.g. Pindell et al ., 1988; have been reported in magmatic bodies emplaced at Pindell, 1990; Mann et al ., 2002; Pindell & Kennan, the North of the Cordillera Central (CC) (E.g. Ordóñez 2009; Escalona & Mann; 2011). In such models, the NW & Pimentel, 2001a, b; Restrepo-Moreno et al ., 2007a, South America is considered a passive margin between b; Ordoñez, Pimentel, & Laux, 2008; Villagómez et 120 and 84 Myr; and for the Late Cretaceous suggest al ., 2011), and in the Guajira Peninsula (PG; Cediel an arc-continent collision between the Caribbean plate et al ., 2003; Weber et al ., 2009, 2011). However, in (Plateau) and South America. This collision must have other continental margin areas, such as the Lower given rise to oceanic crust subduction (Pacic-originated Magdalena Valley (LMV), there are no reports of Plateau) occurring since the Campanian (approximately igneous activity for the same period and therefore; it has 72 Myr ago; Cediel et al ., 2003).
