Abstract

Morphologically the Colombian Caribbean Platform in this sector is relatively narrow and shallow, specifically in the area near the mouth of the Magdalena river where reaches the 12 mts of depht. It is cut by 5 canyons structuraly similar to the Bolívar, Romeral, Santa Marta and Oca faults, indicating a possible association of this canyons to the fault sistem. The sedimentation is essentially terrigenous and its distribution over the platform is subject to the existance of the Magdalena canyon, to the river outfall and the effect of the marine current which explains the absence of a sedimentary prism in this area.
