Abstract

Summary

In the Peruvian Subandean fold and thrust belt, the construction of 4 serial balanced cross-sections from a good set of structural data and an extensive knowledge of the stratigraphy and geodynamic evolution allow a more refined definition of the unexplored plays, as sub-thrusts, duplexes or pre-Cretaceous structures. Sequential restorations are proposed by coupling thermochronologic analyses with growth strata studies. The results show significant north-south variations in the geometry, the timing and the rate of the deformation. This latitudinal variation is related to the pre-Andean basins inheritance, but also to the Andean slab geometry. Thermochronologic ages correspond to the most recent tectonic uplifts and cannot be disassociated from the study of growth strata that might have recorded oldest events. North of the Peruvian Subandean zone, the thrusts propagation seems continuous since the Late Cretaceous. In the south, two stages of Cenozoic deformation are clearly indentified.
