Abstract
The Lower Magdalena Basin started in Eocene to Oligocene time with episodic transtension and tectonic<br>collapse associated to oblique collision between the Caribbean and South American plates. This first<br>subsidence was followed by at least two superimposed andean foredeeps of Miocene to Pliocene age, caused<br>by uplift of both the Santa Marta Massif and the Romeral tectonic lineament.
