Los plutones pérmicos están dispersos con el basamento neoproterozoico y no se habían identificado en trabajos anteriores debido a sus similitudes litológicas con el magmatismo que ocurrió durante el Jurásico Temprano a Medio.

  • U-Pb LA-ICP-MS GEOCHRONOLOGY
    Boletín de Geología Vol. 32, N° 2, julio-diciembre de 2010 U-Pb LA-ICP-MS GEOCHRONOLOGY AND REGIONAL CORRELATION OF MIDDLE JURASSIC INTRUSIVE ROCKS FROM THE GARZON MASSIF, UPPER MAGDALENA VALLEY AND CENTRAL CORDILLERA, SOUTHERN COLOMBIA Camilo Bustamante1, Agustín Cardona1, Germán Bayona2, Andrés Mora3, Víctor Valencia4, George Gehrels5, Jeff Vervoort6 ABSTRACT New U-Pb zircon geochronology from four granitic units sampled along a southeast-northwest transect between the Garzón Massif and the Serranía de las Minas (Central Cordillera), records a Middle Jurassic magmatic activity with two different spatio-temporal domains at ca. 189 Ma and 180-173 Ma. Reconnaissance data suggest that the four granitoids are characterized by mineralogical and geochemical characteristics akin to a continental magmatic arc setting. The new results suggest that the southern Colombian continental margin includes remnants of tectono- magmatic elements formed by the subduction of the Farallon plate under the South American continental margin. This Middle Jurassic arc magmatism is part of the broader Andean scale arc province, and is significant for understanding the tectonic and paleogeographic scenario that characterized the Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the Northern Andes. Key words: U-Pb geochronology, Colombia, Jurassic, Intrusive rocks, Garzón Massif, Central Cordillera.

  • The Chocó-Darién Conservation Corridor
    July 4, 2011 The Chocó-Darién Conservation Corridor A Project Design Note for Validation to Climate, Community, and Biodiversity (CCB) Standards (2nd Edition). CCB Project Design Document – July 4, 2011 Executive Summary Colombia is home to over 10% of the world’s plant and animal species despite covering just 0.7% of the planet’s surface, and has more registered species of birds and amphibians than any other country in the world. Along Colombia’s northwest border with Panama lies the Darién region, one of the most diverse ecosystems of the American tropics, a recognized biodiversity hotspot, and home to two UNESCO Natural World Heritage sites. The spectacular rainforests of the Darien shelter populations of endangered species such as the jaguar, spider monkey, wild dog, and peregrine falcon, as well as numerous rare species that exist nowhere else on the planet. The Darién is also home to a diverse group of Afro-Colombian, indigenous, and mestizo communities who depend on these natural resources. On August 1, 2005, the Council of Afro-Colombian Communities of the Tolo River Basin (COCOMASUR) was awarded collective land title to over 13,465 hectares of rainforest in the Serranía del Darién in the municipality of Acandí, Chocó in recognition of their traditional lifestyles and longstanding presence in the region. If they are to preserve the forests and their traditional way of life, these communities must overcome considerable challenges. During 2001- 2010 alone, over 10% of the natural forest cover of the surrounding region was converted to pasture for cattle ranching or cleared to support unsustainable agricultural practices.

Gold mineralizations in the area are spatially and genetically associated with the cooling of three mid- to late-Miocene age intrusive cen- ters in the form of stocks and dikes (12-9 Ma): Cerro Frontino, La Horqueta and Morrogacho (El Cerro Igneous Complex). These composite magmatic pulses, with ultramafic to intermediate compositions, vary into diorite-, gabbro- and monzonitic-bearing phases. Mineralization in the complex is present as several structurally controlled fault veins, shear-related veins, sheeted quartz extension veins and quartz-carbonate tabular extension veins, with the development of swarms and nests of veins-veinlets, brec- cias and stockworks. Structures range from centimeter-wide individual veinlets to several meter-wide swarms of veins developed within broad mineralized structural corridors, with a metallic signature that consists of Au + Ag + Cu + Zn + Pb + As (± Te ± Bi ± Sb ± Hg ± W) assemblages.

Climate change projections in Colombia predict an average increase in temperature of 2.6°C and in precipitation of 20% by the end of the century. These changes would directly affect the tropical dry forest (TDF) and its biodiversity.

    BOLETÍN CIENTÍFICO bol.cient.mus.hist.nat. 24 (1), enero-junio, 2020. 89-100. ISSN: 0123-3068 (Impreso) ISSN: 2462-8190 (En línea) CENTRO DE MUSEOS MUSEO DE HISTORIA NATURAL Una nueva subespecie de Morpho cypris Westwood, 1851, descubierta en la zona norte de la cordillera central de Colombia (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae)* Gabriel Rodríguez G1. & Carlos Rodríguez G. Resumen Resultados. La nueva subespecie Morpho cypris zafiro n. ssp., representa una población endémica de la cuenca del río Porce, en la vertiente norte de la cordillera Central de Colombia en el departamento de Antioquia, diferente de las tres subespecies conocidas en Colombia: Morpho cypris cypris que habita el Valle Medio del río Magdalena, Morpho cypris johnsoni que habita el pidemente de la Serranía de Los Motilones y Morpho cypris crhysonicus que habita la vertiente occidental de los Andes y la llanura pacífica desde Ecuador hasta el Urabá en Colombia. Conclusiones. La mayor área de coloración azul y la delgada franja blanca medial, constituyen un patrón constante de la nueva subespecie, más reducido en la cara dorsal que el descrito para la subespecie panameña Morpho cypris smalli. Metodología. Con base en siete especímenes colectados en los últimos 37 años, presentamos la descripción y comparación de la Morpho cypris zafiro n. sspcon la Morpho cypris cypris y la Morpho cypris crhysonicus. Objetivo. El objetivo es aportar al conocimiento de los lepidópteros de Colombia y su distribución y mostrar que aún es posible, en uno de los grupos más estudiados a nivel mundial, encontrar nuevas subespecies locales que representan poblaciones endémicas. Palabras clave: Colombia, Lepidóptera, Morpho cypris, nueva subespecie.
