          Abstract

          Metamorphic pressure and temperature trajectories are generally used as tools to interpret the tectonic history of deformed belts of rocks that record past activity along active plate margins. The pre-Devonian metamorphic sequence of the Silgará Formation forms part of the ancient basement of the central Santander Massif, including pelitic schists, siliceous schists and intercalation of amphibolites accompanied by marble. This metasedimentary unit has been affected by Barrovian type metamorphism under middle-pressure/high-temperature conditions. This paper presents on the relationship of tectonic processes to pressure-temperature paths development. Detailed petrologic analysis of pelites and related rocks has been used to constrain the P-T history of this region in the eastern colombian cordillera. Mineral assemblages and Geothermobarometric calculations indicate metamorphic temperatures and pressures of 400-600 °C and 4.0-6.5 kbar, respectively.

          Las trayectorias de presión y temperatura de metamorfismo generalmente son usadas como herramientas para interpretar la historia tectónica de cinturones de rocas deformadas que registran antigua actividad a lo largo de bordes de placa activos. La secuencia pre-Devónica de la Formación Silgará forma parte del antiguo basamento que aflora en la región central del Macizo de Santander, incluyendo esquistos pelíticos, esquistos silíceos con intercalación de anfibolitas acompañadas por mármol. Esta secuencia metasedimentaria ha sido afectada por un metamorfismo tipo Barroviense en condiciones de presión intermedia / temperatura alta. Este artículo especula sobre la relación entre los procesos tectónicos y el desarrollo de trayectorias de P-T. Un análisis petrológico detallado de las pelitas y rocas relacionadas ha sido usado para deducir la historia de P-T de esta región. Las paragénesis minerales y los cálculos geotermobarométricos indican temperaturas y presiones metamórficas de 400-600 °C y 4.0-6.5 kbar, respectivamente.
