The geological history of northwestern South America: from Pangaea to the early collision of the Caribbean Large Igneous Province (290–75Ma)
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Northwestern South America preserves a record of the assembly of western Pangaea, its disassembly and initiation of the far western Tethys Wilson Cycle, subsequent Pacific margin magmatism and ocean plateau–continent interaction since the Late Cretaceous. Numerous models have been presented for various time slices although they are based on either spatially restricted datasets, or dates that are inaccurate estimates of the time of crystallisation. Here we review a very large quantity of geochronological, geochemical, thermochronological, sedimentological and palaeomagnetic data that collectively provide tight constraints for geological models. These data have been collected over a trench (Pacific)-parallel distance of > 1500 km (Colombia and Ecuador), and reveal important temporal trends in rifting and subduction. The temporal framework for our model constraints are obtained from robust, concordant zircon U-Pb ages of magmatic rocks during 290–75 Ma. The Late Cretaceous thermal history of the margin (

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
