Mise en évidence d'une tectonique compressive Éocène-Oligocène dans l'Ouest de la Cordillère orientale de Colombie, d'après la structure en duplex des gisements d'émeraude de Muzo et de Coscuez (Evidence for an Eocene-Oligocene compressive tectoni...
The structures of the emerald deposits of the western part of Eastern Cordillera of Colombia (thrusts, ramps, duplexes, tear faults) have been formed by three deformational events forming a single thrust-tectonics phase, synchronous with the emerald-forming hydrothermalism. As this hydrothermalism is Late Eocene-Early Oligocene in age, it is also the age of the thrust tectonics.
