1.Introduction
The Colombian Andes comprise three SSW–NNE
trending,sub-parallel cordilleras (Fig.1).The com-
plex tectonic framework of this area results from the
interaction between three tectonic plates (Nazca,Caribbean
and South American) and the Panama–Costa
Rica microplate (Pennington,1981; Taboada et al.,
2000).This interaction induced a compressive tectonic
regime in the north-western part of Colombia,
particularly in the studied area located between the
Western and Central Cordilleras,north of the city of
Cali (Fig.1).
The studied area covers parts of three Colombian
departments (Fig.2):Quindı´o (city of Armenia),
Risaralda (city of Pereira) and Valle del Cauca (cities
of Cartago and Zarzal).This zone comprises two
intramontane depressions where Plio-Pleistocene sediments
were deposited:the Cauca Valley to the west
displays numerous outcrops of the Pleistocene Zarzal
Formation between the towns of Zarzal and Cartago.It
is separated by folded Tertiary outcrops from the
Quindı´o–Pereira depression to the east where the
Plio-Pleistocene fluvio-volcanic fans of Quindı´o,Pereira
and Cartago accumulated.These two sedimentary
units interfinger in the western part of the Cartago,
Pereira and Quindı´o Fans.This tectonically active
zone is dissected by several major SSW–NNE trending
fault lineaments such as the Romeral Fault System
(Fig.3).In particular,the rupture at shallow depth of
the Armenia fault caused the dramatic earthquake of
Armenia in January 1999 (INGEOMINAS (Instituto
nacional de investigaciones geolo´ gico-mineras),1999).
The Ruiz-Tolima volcanic system in the Central Cordillera
is associated with these faults and formed the
source of the fluvio-volcanic fans deposited to the
west (Fig.2).
The Zarzal Formation encountered in the Cauca
Valley was deposited in a fluvio-lacustrine environment.
It contains numerous soft-sediment deformation
structures,particularly in the Cartago area (Fig.4).The
aims of this paper are to describe the various types of
deformations encountered and discuss their potential
triggering mechanisms.
2.Geology of Zarzal Formation
The Zarzal Formation has been so far poorly studied.
Boussingault (1903) was the first to describe siliceous
deposits intercalated with sand and sandy clay beds in
the Cartago area,where they form low-relief hills.He
considered these sediments as the infill of a lake.The
name Zarzal Formation was attributed in 1955 to these
deposits of diatomite,clay and volcanic sand (Keiser,
Nelson and Van der Hammen,unpublished,in Van der
Hammen,1958; see also De Porta,1974).
Cardona and Ortiz (1994) were the first to analyze in
detail the depositional environment of these sediments.
They interpreted three types of facies:braided-stream
channel deposits,floodplain sediments and lake deposits.
