2023: Mantle-hosted ophiolitic chromitites from Colombia: implications for petrogenesis and geodynamic evolution
Mantle-hosted ophiolitic chromitites from Colombia: implications for petrogenesis and geodynamic evolution Abstract Chromitite bodies can be found within ophiolitic mantle sections in three locations in Colombia: Medellín, Planeta Rica, and La Guajira. These chromitites are typically massive pods that are often surrounded by lateritic soil in Medellín and Planeta Rica, or small discoidal bodies in…

2020: Petrology and geochemistry of high-Al chromitites from the Medellin Metaharzburgitic Unit (MMU), Colombia
Petrology and geochemistry of high-Al chromitites from the Medellin Metaharzburgitic Unit (MMU), Colombia Abstract The Medellin Metaharzburgitic Unit (MMU), emplaced onto the western continental margin of Pangea during Triassic time, is located in the Central Cordillera of Colombia and consists of metaharzburgites, minor metadunites and chromitite bodies (Patio Bonito and San Pedro ore deposits). The…

2020: The Petrologic Nature of the “Medellín Dunite” Revisited: An Algebraic Approach and Proposal of a New Definition of the Geological Body
The Petrologic Nature of the “Medellín Dunite” Revisited: An Algebraic Approach and Proposal of a New Definition of the Geological Body Abstract The “Medellín Dunite”, the main ultramafic body of the Central Cordillera of Colombia, constitutes a fragment of oceanic lithospheric mantle formed at a back–arc basin/incipient arc scenario emplaced onto the western continental margin…

2014: Late Jurassic terrane collision in the northwestern margin of Gondwana (Cajamarca complex, eastern flank of the central cordillera, Colombia)
Late Jurassic terrane collision in the northwestern margin of Gondwana (Cajamarca complex, eastern flank of the central cordillera, Colombia) Abstract Medium-grade metabasites and metapelites from the Cajamarca Complex (Central Cordillera of Colombia) are in fault contact with the Jurassic Ibague batholith and show a penetrative foliation, locally mylonitic, suggesting intense dynamic–thermal metamorphism. The amphibolites are…
