Universidad Nacional de Colombia Several modifications to these characteristics and boundaries are proposed for ter- Medellín, Colombia * Corresponding author ranes such as Chibcha, Tahamí, and Calima. Some small terranes that have been de- Jurassic fined recently, including Anacona, Ebéjico (Quebradagrande), and Pozo (Arquía), are placed within the context of the larger terranes. In addition, some new terranes, in- cluding Yalcón, Bocaná, Aburrá, Kogi, and Tairona, are defined and their characteristics are described. With these new geochronological data, we propose that the metamor- phic Cajamarca Complex be replaced by two new lithodemical units: the Antioquia Triassic Complex, which covers mostly rocks that formed during Permian and Triassic meta- morphism, and the Coello Complex, which comprises metamorphic rocks that formed during Jurassic metamorphism. Future lines of investigation are proposed to solve remaining problems, especially the boundaries of some of the newly defined terranes. Permian Keywords: continental terranes, accretions, displaced terranes, Colombia, Andes.

RESUMEN El valle del río Anaime, localizado en la parte central de la Cordillera Central, se encuentra en una zona con influencia tectónica importante por estructuras regionales que hacen parte de los Sistemas de Fallas de Palestina e Ibagué. Además de lo anterior, esta zona ha estado bajo influencia de eventos volcánicos regionales como producto de la actividad reciente durante los últimos 5000 años del Volcán Cerro Machín. En este trabajo se presenta un análisis geomorfológico cuantitativo a partir del uso de diferentes índices geomorfológicos tales como la curva e integral hipsométrica, el índice de forma de la cuenca, el factor de asimetría, la relación ancho-altura del valle, perfiles longitudinales normalizados y el índice de extensión pendiente-relativa con el objetivo de analizar la influencia de la tectónica y la actividad volcánica en la evolución reciente del paisaje en el río Anaime. Los análisis geomorfológicos muestran que la evolución reciente del paisaje a lo largo de la parte alta del valle del río Anaime ha estado controlada por caídas locales en el nivel base inducidas por actividad tectónica reciente de la Falla de Palestina y con menor influencia por la Falla de Ibagué.

  • La Colosa Au Porphyry Deposit, Colombia: Mineralization Styles, Structural Controls, and Age Constraints

The deposit contains more than 800 t (22.37 Moz) Au at grades up to 0.8 g/t and is hosted by a composite porphyry stock of dioritic to tonalitic composition, which was emplaced into Triassic-Cretaceous schists of the Cajamarca Complex in the late Miocene (~8 Ma). The country rocks underwent two ductile deformation events, including development of shear zones, folds, and penetrative foliation, prior to emplacement of the stock. Subsequent brittle deformation reactivated preex- isting N- and NNE-trending structures and formed secondary faults due to a change from right- to left-lateral shear sense on regional faults. This switch in stress orientations is attributed to a new plate configuration in the mid-Miocene. The left-lateral movement along regional faults favored emplacement of intrusive centers in dilational pull-apart zones, including the La Colosa stock within the regional Palestina fault zone. The La Colosa porphyry stock was intruded in three stages, termed early, intermineral, and late, all within a relatively short time interval of ~1.1 m.y.
