The Andean orogenic period and its major structures in central and northern Peru
Abstract
The Andean orogenic period began in the Albian and consisted of at least 6 discrete compressional phases which are Albian to late Miocene in age. Deformation migrated progressively toward the Amazonian foredeep. The major Andean structures in central and northern Peru are related to the Eocene (Incaic), early Miocene (Quechua 1) and late Miocene (Quechua 3) phases. The Maranon thrust and fold belt (MTFB) which bounds the western Cordillera to the NE rose in the Eocene. It was reactivated partly by the Quechua 1 phase, which also folded the Altiplano farther E and possibly part of the eastern Cordillera. The sub-Andean thrust and fold belt (STFB) is related to the Quechua 3 phase. In both MTFB and STFB the imbricate thrusts merge at depth in large décollement faults. Gravity sliding does not play a dominant role, for these faults have to be rooted westward in the pre-Andean basement. The corresponding crustal shortening played a significant part in the creation of the sialic root of the Andes.

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.
