La Guajira Terrane

La Guajira Terrane (Spanish: Terreno de La Guajira, TLG) is one of the geological provinces (terranes) of Colombia. The terrane, dating to the Late Cretaceous, is situated on the North Andes Plate and borders the Caribbean, Tahamí and Chibcha Terranes along the Bucaramanga-Santa Marta Fault.[1] The southern boundary is formed by the Oca Fault with the Chibcha Terrane.[2][3]
