  • Campanian-Maastrichtian evolution of sedimentary systems during the final stages of an epeiric sea —La Luna Sea— in eastern Colombia: Processes, spatio-temporal variability, and depositional controls

    Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2025
    Epeiric seas were widespread during the Cretaceous, associated with global sea-level rise. Their stratigraphic record , controlled mainly by eustasy , tectonic and climatic factors , resulted in the accumulation of important hydrocarbon source and reservoir rocks. In the NW of South America-Colombia, an epeiric sea established in the Early Cretaceous—knows as La Luna Sea in the Late Cretaceous—, bounded by a volcanic arc to the western side and by the Amazonian Craton to the east, was progressively filled during the Campanian-Maastrichtian, being these latest Cretaceous deposits important hydrocarbon reservoirs for conventional petroleum systems . In the Campanian-early Maastrichtian period the western side and the central part of the basin had a normal shoreface profile, dominated by pelagic and wave sedimentation processes, while a delta profile dominated by fluvial processes characterized the eastern side. During the late Maastrichtian, directly related to the accretion of western Caribbean terranes , transitional and continental environments dominated by fluvial processes were established on both sides of the basin, suggesting changes in geomorphological-topographic and drainage system characteristics of the emerged areas, leading to the filling of the epeiric basin. The distribution of the deposits was controlled by allogenic processes: tectonism associated with the growth of the proto-Central Cordillera, the global eustatic level, and in minor degree by autogenic processes such as channel avulsion, bottom and longshore currents, and high productivity events. These processes and their variable temporal and spatial influence were responsible for the different types of deposits on either side of the basin, which had a direct impact on the establishment of macrobenthic communities, also providing new exploration ideas related to the reservoirs. Comparisons suggest that the size of the receiving and emerged zones plays an important role in the distribution and arrangement of deposits along and across the basin, related to the nature of the internal processes involved in sediment redistribution.
  • Miocene vanishing of the Central American Seaway between the Panamá Arc and the South American Plate

    A controversy has developed in recent years regarding the timing of the closure of the Central American Seaway. This tectonic event significantly impacted oceanic circulation between the tropical Pacific and Atlantic oceans and resulted in the formation of a land bridge connecting the South and North American continents. The long-held view of a Pliocene age (ca. 3 Ma) for the closure of the Central American Seaway has been challenged by the proposal that the Panamá Arc collided with South America during the Middle Miocene (15–13 Ma) as a deep oceanic gap between them closed along the Uramita suture zone. However, direct geologic evidence from this suture zone to support either interpretation has been lacking. Here, we report on a comprehensive study of three stratigraphic transects across the Uramita suture zone, using a host of methodologies including sedimentological, ichnological, micropaleontological, U-Pb detrital geochronological, and provenance analyses. Our data reveal that lower offshore to slope conditions prevailed in the Central American Seaway along the suture zone during the latest Early to earliest Middle Miocene (16.4–15.1 Ma) and that oceanic conditions there ceased to exist between the Middle and Late Miocene. These results agree with the Middle Miocene age proposed for the Central American Seaway closure along the tectonic boundary. However, other deeper portions of the Central American Seaway persisted in western Colombia, which challenges the notion of a Central American Seaway confined to the suture zone between the Panamá Arc and South American Plate during the Middle Miocene.

  • Coarse-grained submarine channels: from confined to unconfined flows in the Colombian Caribbean (late Eocene)
    Sergio A. Celis, Fernando García-García, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Tovar, Carlos A. Giraldo-Villegas, Andrés Pardo-Trujillo
    Sedimentary Geology, 2024
    Submarine channel mouth settings are hardly preserved in the stratigraphic record. Although they are still poorly known with respect to other segments of turbidite systems, conceptual models are being refined in the light of new discoveries in modern and ancient examples. Still, some questions such as the transition between expansion zones and traditional Channel-Lobe Transition Zone (CLTZ) remain open in ancient systems. Upper Eocene deposits of the Colombian Caribbean (San Jacinto Fold Belt) are interpreted here as a fan-delta-fed, submarine, coarse-grained channel-lobe system. It displays a well-preserved channel inception stage represented by sigmoidal to lens-shaped gravels, and foreset and backset planar cross-stratified pebbly sandstones interpreted as an expansion zone. In a later stage, a classical channel-levee complex was developed, represented by channel fill elements showing sharp- and erosional-based, fining-upward sequences that are meters thick, having basal massive matrix-supported pebble (hard —extrabasinal— clasts, rip-up clasts, coastal bioclasts) conglomerates, vertically evolving to liquefied massive to planar-laminated coarse-grained sandstones with phytodetrital carbonaceous laminae. They are interpreted as concentrated flow deposits (high-density turbidites) coming from continental areas or from coastal systems (i.e., delta reworking). Undifferentiated channel belt thin-bedded turbidites associated with levees and terraces deposits are related to these confined systems. The channel-lobe transition zone is characterized by debrites from cohesionless debris flow in a channel-mouth bar setting, representing bypass processes that developed distally into low-angle, planar cross- and undulated-stratified (upstream antidune) pebble-size to coarse-grained sandstones that fill low-angle scours (cut-and-fill structures) in an antidune field setting with supercritical conditions. When the currents lose channel confinement, is characterized by changes from Froude supercritical to subcritical flow conditions in an inner lobe to lobe off-axis environment. Large seasonal fluctuations in precipitation favor high sediment concentrations, promoting the formation of volumetrically significant fan deltas and coarse-grained submarine channels with high erosive capacity; therefore, their record helps refine interpretations of depositional processes, providing criteria for recognizing areas of the turbiditic systems that are difficult to preserve. The particular aggradational conditions for the preservation and stratigraphic characterization of the rare exhumed submarine channel mouth systems make it possible to decipher sediment dispersal patterns and thus connect the models proposed here from supercritical systems to the traditional models of turbiditic systems.

    The Upper Cretaceous deposits of northwestern Colombia accumulated in two regions with distinct tectonic settings. The eastern deposits, consisting of Turonian–Maastrichtian rocks from the Upper Magdalena Valley (UMV) and the Cesar-Rancheria basins, were deposited by an epicontinental sea that partially covered the South American Plate. In contrast, the western deposits, which comprise a series of highly faulted and folded Coniacian–Maastrichtian deposits in the Sinú-San Jacinto Folded Belt (SSJFB), Gorgonilla Island, and Western Cordillera, were influenced by a seaway connecting the eastern Pacific Ocean with the proto-Caribbean Sea and were deposited near the collision zone between the Caribbean and South American Plates. We conducted a biostratigraphic analysis of 119 rock samples from these deposits. Although some well-preserved microfossils were found in the Cesar-Ranchería Basin, most samples exhibited poor to moderate preservation of nannofossils. Biostratigraphic markers identified in the Upper Magdalena Valley Basin were Quadrum gartneri, Micula concava, Micula staurophora, Lithastrinus septenarius, Lithastrinus grillii, Arkhangelskiella cymbiformis, Uniplanarius trifidus, Uniplanarius sissinghii, and Reinhardtites anthophorus. In the Cesar-Rancheria Basin, the markers identified were Arkhangelskiella cymbiformis, Lithraphidites cf. L. praequadratus, and an acme of Kamptnerius magnificus. Based on these taxa, the eastern stratigraphic sections accumulated sometime between UC7 (CC11) and UC20 (CC26) biozones, which is equivalent to an age range of early Turonian to upper Maastrichtian. Key biostratigraphic taxa from the western outcrops were more limited, yielding only Uniplanarius trifidus and Uniplanarius sissinghii, which are indicative of biozones UC15d–UC17 (CC22–CC23). This signifies a sedimentation age sometime from late Campanian to early Maastrichtian. Our results correlate well with previous age models and reveal that undistinguished upper Campanian–lower Maastrichtian deposits of the collision zone can be correlated with the last marine deposits of the epicontinental sea in the UMV. Although calcareous nannofossils from the Cesar-Rancheria Basin displayed the best preservation, low-latitude biostratigraphic markers were absent in this locality, making regional correlations challenging. We hypothesize that these deposits formed during the Maastrichtian, but changes in oceanic water conditions of the proto-Caribbean Sea affected productivity and preservation of biostratigraphic markers.
  • Deciphering influencing processes in a tropical delta system (middle-late Eocene? to Early Miocene, Colombian Caribbean): Signals from a well-core integrative sedimentological, ichnological, and micropaleontological analysis

    Deltaic depositional systems are characterized by a complex interaction of physical, chemical, and biological factors. Although fluvial-, wave- and tidal-dominated deltaic environments have been extensively studied, evaluation of the processes in tropical mixed sedimentary systems has not been fully documented. Tropical regions with active margins are tectonic environments where these multiple factors act on the development of coastal systems. An onshore well-core from this tropical setting (Sinú-San Jacinto Basin, Colombian Caribbean) revealed that a middle-upper Eocene?-lower Oligocene coarse-grained deltaic setting is replaced by a thick coal-bearing mixed-energy fine-grained deltaic succession from the Oligocene to Early Miocene. The integrated analysis of facies associations, ichnological data, and terrestrial/marine micropaleontological assemblages (palynomorphs, foraminifera, and calcareous nannofossils) of this well-core allowed us to identify changes in dominance and influence of coastal processes (fluvial-, wave- and tide) and shoreline evolution. Using this information, as well as the sediment supply and accommodation space ratio, we were able to distinguish three intervals from the bottom to the top of the siliciclastic succession: (i) middle-late Eocene?–early Oligocene, prograding, fluvial-dominated, wave- and tide-influenced coarse-grained deltas with amalgamation of hyperpycnal-dominated mouth bars with hyperconcentrated flow input, (ii) Oligocene, retrograding to prograding, hyperpycnal-dominated heterolithic delta deposits punctuated by transgressive pulses, and (iii) late Oligocene to Early Miocene, aggradational, coal-bearing fine-grained delta plain with a higher proportion of transgressive phases over the continental environment. The complete succession represents long-term (∼14 Myr) mixed-energy nearshore siliciclastic systems, showing different lithological arrangements and sedimentation styles. A long-term evolution is observed from a middle-late Eocene? steep, short and coarse-grained sedimentary system with tropical humid lowland forest and punctual development of macrobenthic tracemaker communities (Interval I) to an Early Miocene gently (poorly drained), well-developed delta plain with mangroves and wave- and storm-influence record through trace fossils assemblages (Interval III). A combination of factors, including subsidence, relief uplifting, and possible relative sea level changes, are interpreted as the main controls on the stratigraphic evolution of sedimentary styles throughout the entire succession. Minor-order sedimentary successions into each interval (e.g., prograding distributary mouth-bar channel) revealed short-term cycles presumably controlled by an internal delta dynamic. Multidisciplinary analysis is essential for recognizing the influence of fluvial, wave, and tidal processes on tropical deltas, where high spatial and temporal variability makes it difficult to determine dominant processes for long periods of time.

  • Evolution of a fluvial-dominated delta during the Oligocene of the Colombian Caribbean: Sedimentological and ichnological signatures in well-cores

    Journal of South American Earth Sciences, 2021
    Basin analysis from Colombian Caribbean is particularly important given the interest in finding hydrocarbon reservoirs, but their complex geological evolution, and the frequent lateral and vertical variation of facies difficult a conclusive characterization, highlights the need for detailed sedimentological and ichnological studies. The study succession corresponds to an interval of a well core drilled in the south of the Sinú-San Jacinto Basin (Colombian Caribbean), with 1069 ft (~326 m) thick of an Oligocene siliciclastic succession, interpreted in general terms, as deposited in a deltaic system. The integrated sedimentological/ichnological analysis allows the differentiation of dominant facies, with predominant lithologies such as conglomerates, sandstones, mudrocks, bioclastic sediments, as well as coal beds. The ichnological assemblage is low in abundance and moderately diverse, composed by Conichnus, Cylindrichnus, Dactyloidites, Macaronichnus, Ophiomorpha, Phycosiphon, Skolithos, Taenidium, Teichichnus, and Thalassinoides, as well as rhizoliths. The complexity of the sedimentary system is reflected in its evolution throughout the Oligocene. A type succession with coarsening-upward trend was identified and it is repeated through the succession studied. It presents a general trend from bioclastic sediments (bioclastic conglomerates, sandstones and mudrocks) that pass into horizontal lamination and massive mudrocks occasionally bioturbated by Phycosiphon, and interbedded by mudrocks and sandstones with lenticular bedding, and the occurrence of Teichichnus. Above, bioturbated muddy sandstones with Ophiomorpha, Taenidium, Thalassinoides, and rarely Teichichnus, muddy sandstones with planar cross-lamination, and horizontal lamination sandstones with Dactyloidites, Ophiomorpha, Skolithos, and Thalassinoides are registered. Transition to carbonaceous mudrocks with Teichichnus, coal medium beds, and fine-to coarse-grained sandstones sometimes with Macaronichnus and/or Ophiomorpha is observed. Towards the top, are observed mudrocks with rhizoliths. This succession is interrupted by massive and horizontal lamination sandstones with low bioturbation index generated by the ichnological assemblage and/or by the exclusive occurrence of Ophiomorpha and/or Taenidium. Massive sandstones with erosive bases, asymmetrical ripples, and high content of organic debris are occasionally recorded. This succession reflects a progradational trend similar to those of fluvial-dominated deltaic sequences. Detailed analysis revealed that even the fluvial processes were dominant in the deltaic system; however, local tidal and wave influence is recorded. Moreover, integration of sedimentological and ichnological information allows characterizing the evolution of the different sub-environments of the deltaic system, as prodelta bay, distal delta front, proximal delta front, distributary channels, mouth bars, and lower delta plain, and this is essential for areas of economic interest.
