It currently has more than 20 active members, in addition to the indispensable accompaniment of approximately 5 university graduates and former members, who have continuously supported the group. Our Academic Advisor continues to be Professor Oswaldo Ordóñez and this year we are proud to have a new Industry Advisor, whose name is Mauricio Castañeda. Both are very willing to help our group and with the activities carried out by the chapter. REGULAR MEETINGS Before the COVID-19 pandemic that occurred worldwide, the students belonging to the chapter met weekly in order to schedule activities to collect funds and share academic knowledge, for example, talks among ourselves to know mineral deposits and their characteristics around the world as well as other topics of interest about geochemistry, drilling, recognized mines, hydrogeology and more. Figure 1. Weekly Student Chapter Meetings Additionally, the SEG Student chapter actively participated in the events organized by the university to show the entire student population about the different student chapters belonging to the university. In this space, it was possible to share with other people what the chapter is, our mision and our goals as chapter, also we had the opportunity to exten invitation to new coming students interested enriching their knowledge in the area of economic geology. Figure 2. SEG Student chapter boot. University event On the other hand, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the members of the UNLP (Universidad Nacional de la Plata) student chapter convened different student chapters from Ibero-America in order to have a meeting and strengthen ties between all. Each student chapter leader made a presentation, showing the group's information and future plans, so that later events can be held together. Figure 3. Invitation to the virtual Ibero-American meeting of SEG student chapters. FIELD TRIPS x GEOLOGICAL TRANSECT ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN CORDILLERA IN COLOMBIA. During this field trip, a 6-day journey was made, departing from the city of Medellín to the central-western area of the country. We had the opportunity to see the Bermejala stream, where the different alterations that occur in porphyry-type deposits can be observed, such as propylitic, quartz-sericitic, argillic and potassic. Important rock formations from Colombia were seen, such as the Diabásico group (composed of mafic rocks of approximately 80 ma, columnar basalts and pillow lavas are observed), Dagua group (low-grade metamorphic rocks corresponding to phyllites of approximately 75 ma), Quebradagrande Complex (120 ma volcano- sedimentary rocks), Cajamarca Complex (240 ma metamorphic rocks), Ibagué batholith and sedimentary rocks of the Zarzal formation, La Paila formation, Payandé group, Honda group, Guaduas formation, Gualanday formation, Luisa formation among others, in addition to lahars formed by volcanic activity and recognized faults such as Otú-Pericos, Honda, Palestina among others. Additionally, different mines were visited, such as the Bolivar magnesite mine and CEMEX. On the other hand, La Colosa area was visited, which has a high gold potential but has not been exploited. Figure 4. Photographs of the field trip to west central Colombia CONFERENCES During the past year, it was possible to hold face-to-face conferences conducted by engineers, in which the members of the chapter and the student community in general were invited. Some of the talks held are detailed below. x CONFERENCE “MINERÍA ARTESANAL Y DE PEQUEÑA ESCALA” This conference was given by Isabel Casasbuenas, who is a Mining Engineer and master’s student at Colorado School of Mines. The topic of the talk was artisanal and small-scale mining, which takes place in different municipalities of Colombia. Figure 5. CONFERENCE “MINERÍA ARTESANAL Y DE PEQUEÑA ESCALA” x CONFERENCE “PÓRFIDO CUPRÍFERO (Cu-Mo), MINA EL TENIENTE” Chile is fortunate to have a chain of porphyries in its territory. One of them is called "El Teniente" and corresponds to the largest underground copper deposit on the planet, with an annual production of approximately 460,000 tons of copper. On this occasion, Geological Engineer Sebastián Builes gave a conference on October 15th, 2019 about this magnificent deposit, where we were able to learn its geological history of formation, mineralization, copper production and mining infrastructure. Some of the information presented by Eng. Sebastian was collected during a SEG Student Chapter field trip to Chile few years ago. Figure 6. CONFERENCE “PÓRFIDO CUPRÍFERO (Cu-Mo), MINA EL TENIENTE” x CONFERENCE “CARACTERIZACIÓN DEL MAGMATISMO AL SUR DEL DEPARTAMENTO DE CÓRDOBA” This conference was carried out on April 20th, 2020 by Geologist and M.Sc. from the Mineral Deposit Research Unit (MDRU) Julián Manco, who shared his experience about magmatism in the south of the department of Córdoba in Colombia. He explained the main characteristics of the San Matías mining district, its mineralization, type of mineral deposit, geology, ages of mineralogy and magmatism. At least 150 people attended this talk. Figure 7. CONFERENCE “CARACTERIZACIÓN DEL MAGMATISMO

Servicio Geológico Colombiano, (SGC), Bogotá, Colombia. 2. Universidad Nacional de Colombia, (UNAL), Bogotá, Colombia. Corresponding author: German Martínez Aparicio, [email protected] Abstract The base of the Guadalupe Group, in the Tunja area of Colombia, contains cherts, porcellanites, mudstones, and siltstones with subordinate quartz arenites. The lithostratigraphic description of two stratigraphic sections showed that the dominant facies have fine granular textures and siliceous compositions, which considerably differ from those of the prevailing sandy terrigenous facies described in the type locality in the Eastern Hills of Bogotá, in the Arenisca Dura Formation, the basal unit of the Guadalupe Group in this sector. The units that form the Guadalupe Group (base of the Guadalupe Group, Plaeners, and Arenisca Tierna) markedly differ from each other morphologically, which facilitates their mapping because the base and top units generate a steep morphology, and the intermediate units form surface depressions or valleys, similar to the morphology of the Guadalupe Group in its type locality in the Eastern Hills of Bogotá. The base of the Guadalupe Group consists of cherts and porcellanites toward the NW of the study area (Alto del Gavilán section), with mudstones, siltstones, quartz arenites, and to a lesser extent porcellanites and cherts prevailing toward the SE (Vereda Salitre section).

Jorge E.1, Amaya Erika2 1 Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia- Escuela de Ingeniería Geológica; [email protected] 2 Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia- Escuela de Ingeniería Geológica; [email protected] ABSTRACT Keywords: Litofacies, Lithofacies, reservoir Statistical embedded Markov Chain processes were used to analyze facies transitions and to determine environment, facies maps, Guaduas, the stacking pattern of the lithofacies of the Guaduas formation. Twelve Lithofacies were found lithofacies maps. and characterized based on lithology and sedimentary structures in four stratigraphic sections. The findings were compared with a previous assemblage of lithofacies, interpretations of sedimentary environments, and depositional systems. As a result, four depositional Systems were established. Through the statistical analyses of facies transitions it was found that tidal facies are prevalent in the Socota section, more specifically in the upper part. Whereas in the Sogamoso, Umbita and Peñas de Sutatausa sections, fluvial facies are prevalent in the upper part of the sections, and follow a regressive sequence with more continental deposits around the upper part of the sections. For each of these sections the Markov Chain transition matrices illustrate a strong interaction between tidal facies and fluvial facies, especially in the Peñas de Sutatausa matrix, where facies 6, made up of tidal deposits, appears several times. From the facies model and Markov Chain analyses, it is evident that the Guaduas formation is a cyclic sequence in which the Markov facies repetitions are consistent with the lithofacies analyses conducted in previous stratigraphic studies.

GIRALDO *Colorado School of Mines, Geology Department, Golden CD 80403 Ecopetrol - Instituto Colombiano del Petróleo, A.A. 4185 Bucaramanga, Santander, Colombia e-mail: [email protected] he chemical composition of 25 crude oils from Tertiary reservoirs and 12 rock extracts from five T organic-rich Cretaceous formations in the Middle Magdalena Basin, Colombia were studied in detail by geochemical methods in order to understand their genetic relationships. The oils have been geochemically classified into four main groups based on the sulfur content, pristane/phytane, dibenzothiophene /phenanthrene, concentrations of oleanane and terpane distributions. Each group occur in different geographic locations. Oils were mainly derived from calcareous, siliciclastic and mixture of these two facies of the Upper Cretaceous La Luna Formation. Source-oil correlation is supported by sterane and terpane distributions of and carbon isotope ratios. Some oils in the eastern margin contain relatively higher concentrations of higher plant indicators than the remaining oil samples. The molecular compositions of the oils observed in this study appear to be consistent with the inferred depositional sequence of anoxic marine/pelagic carbonate facies in the north/western sector of the Middle Magdalena, while the eastern sector received a higher proportion of clastic input. This documentation supports the interpretation that the Middle Magdalena oils have been generated locally, as opposed to have migrated from the region of the Eastern Cordillera. Biomarker maturity parameters indicate that the majority of oils were generated in the early thermal maturity oil window except the Colorado-38 oil which was generated in the middle thermal maturity oil window.

While widely studied in the central and southern Andes, the spatial and temporal evolution of the Cenozoic foreland basin system in the northern Andes has received considerably less attention. This is in part due to the complex geodynamic boundary conditions, such as the oblique subduction and accretion of the Caribbean plates to the already complex interaction between the Nazca and the South American plates. In the Colombian Andes, for example, a foreland basin system has been forming since ~80 Ma over an area previously affected by rift tectonics during the Mesozoic. This setting of Cenozoic contractile deformation superposed on continental crust pre-strained by extensional processes thus represents a natural, yet poorly studied experimental set-up, where the role of tectonic inheritance on the development of foreland basin systems can be evaluated.

Bogotá, Colombia 8 *Corresponding author 9 [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 10 ORCID 0000-0003-3101-6534; 0000-0002-4896-5384 11 12 Abstract 13 14 Coal petrological characteristics along the Piedemonte Llanero and the reconstruction of the 15 deposit environment were obtained from macerals and micro-lithotypes analysis since these data 16 provide information about the processes and prevalent conditions during the peat formation. We 17 analyzed seams from Cenomanian to Miocene geological units (Chipaque Formation, Palmichal 18 Group, Arcillas del Limbo Formation, and San Fernando Formation). Coal range decreases gradually 19 from high-volatile C bituminous (HVCB) in the Chipaque Formation to sub-bituminous C in the San 20 Fernando Formation. The coals are enriched in macerals of vitrinite, whereas the liptinite and 21 inertinite concentrations vary according to the stratigraphic position. The micro-lithotypes are bi- 22 maceral and tri-macerals, being the highest concentrations of clarite and vitrinertoliptite. The 23 results of the facies analysis show that the peat in which the coals developed is mainly of arboreal 24 and herbaceous affinity (rich in lignin and cellulose). Peats are ombrotrophic (rainfed) to 25 mesotrophic (transitional or mixed mires) with variations in the flooding surface and influxes of 26 brackish water. Good tissue preservation is inferred from the wet conditions in forest swamps with 27 few humification and gelation.
