    INTRODUCTION

    CaribbeanandPacificplates.Thisinteractioninvolvedmultipleepisodesofaccretionofoceanicterranes

    The Central Cordillera basement can be regarded as an Upper Paleozoic Permian metamorphic

    names through time including: Cajamarca Group (Nelson, 1957); Cajamarca Complex (Maya and

    PolymetamorphicComplex(ToussaintandRestrepo,1989)andtheCajamarcaValdiviaTerrane(Cediel,

    etal.2003).

    Other well-documented geochronological events in the region occurred during Devonian and

    Cretaceoustimes(Halletal.,1972;Gonzlez,1980;ToussaintandRestrepo,1989).Finally,otherevents

    are recorded during the entire Tertiary. These events are mainly associated with deformational

    processes,syntectonicsedimentationandMio-Pliocenevolcanism(e.g.,AmagaandCombiaformations

    respectively)

    and intruded the Amaga Formation and other older rocks. Geometrically, the RFS shear zone is

    al.,1998;Restrepo-Morenoetal.,2009;Vallejoetal.,2009;Jaillardetal.,2010).Cardonaetal(2011),

    suggest that the Caribbean oceanic plate influenced the Late CretaceousEocene orogeny of the

    that were arriving at the trench into the Western Cordillera. During the Tertiary, South America

    overthrust more and more the Caribbean Plate ina flat slab geometry. Thus,afteraccretion of the

    Western Cordillera at the start of this overthrusting, first the Central Cordillera (Paleocene-Middle

    Eocene;Laramide)andthentheEasternCordillera(LateOligocene-Miocene;earlyAndean)havebeen

    thrust over theeastern leading edge of theunderthrusted Caribbean lithosphere.Presently, seismic

    In the model depicted above, the Quebradagrande belt corresponds to an autochthonous arc

    contemporaneous to the Arquia belt produced by eastward subduction of the Farallon plate.

    In this area we can observe Tr (?) Amphibolites of the Central Cordillera and medium grade schist

    belonging to the Cajamarca Complex. Amphibolites are probably related to deformed gabbros and

    amphibolites located within the RFS although some authors considered it as allocthonous blocks

    obductedinthelowerCretaceous(ToussaintandRestrepo,1989).
