| Abstract | Lavas, mudstones and volcaniclastics rocks from the Saldana (Upper Triassic - Lower Jurassic), Yavi and Alpujarra (Aptian) formations in the northern Upper Magdalena Valley were demagnetized using thermal and alternating field methods in order to isolate magnetic components and to establish a relative age of magnetization using several field tests. Magnetic mineralogy analyses permit the identification of the minerals that record uncovered magnetic components. Isolated components represent different events of magnetization. Directions parallel to the present Earth magnetic field were isolated in all the studied units. Characteristic components isolated from the Yavi Formation in Alpujarra area and from the Saldana Formation in Olaya Herrera area, may correspond to primary or near-to-deposition events of magnetization. In Olaya Herrera, the characteristic component of the Saldana Formation (D=179.9 I=7.1 N=8 k=17.19 α 95=13.7) is carried by magnetite. Characteristic components uncovered in two different structural domains document 43±29ocounterclockwise rotations previous to deposition of the Aptian Yavi Formation. Characteristic directions of the Yavi Formation are carried by hematite and magnetite, and the mean-site direction (D=5.2 I=6.2 N=7 k=40.15 α 95=9.6) suggests a pre-folding event of magnetization. |
