Abstract
The Neoproterozoic igneous rocks found in the municipality of San José del Guaviare include several isolated plutonic bodies that protrude from the Phanerozoic sedimentary cover in belts aligned NW-SE. Limited to the Guaviare department, these intrusions stretch from the La Lindosa mountain range to the corregimiento El Capricho. These plutonic bodies consist of nepheline syenites, nepheline monzosyenites, nepheline-bearing alkali-feldspar syenites, syenites, quartz-syenites, quartz-alkali-feldspar syenites, syenogranites, and quartz-rich granitoids, which have been grouped and termed the San José del Guaviare Syenite unit (SJGS).
The intrusion of the unit occurred in the Ediacaran (604 ± 7 Ma and 620.5 ± 7.5 Ma) by mantle-derived alkaline magmas formed in anorogenic settings, most likely in rift-like stretching zones. The silica-subsaturated magma may have reacted with host rocks at the crust level, producing some silica-saturated igneous rocks, such as syenogranites and quartz-syenites, which are found in the El Capricho and Cerritos bodies.
