Resumen
Al sureste de la Cordillera Real, en la sección del río Miriumi, rocas sedimentarias e ígneas metamorfoseadas fueron agrupadas sin discriminación en la Unidad Upano, y la falla Palanda-Méndez-Cosanga fue considerada un límite de terreno en anteriores investigaciones. El objetivo de esta investigación es caracterizar y discriminar rocas sedimentarias e ígneas metamorfoseadas de la Unidad Upano, de rocas sedimentarias de la Cuenca Oriente. Esta discriminación está soportada en datos litoestratigráficos, identificación de estructuras sedimentarias, registro de fósiles, estudios petrográficos y análisis de datos estructurales. Rocas meta-volcánicas y meta-pelíticas afloran en la parte occidental de la sección; mientras que hacia el este de la sección, secuencias estratodecrecientes de conglomerados de cuarzo, cuarzo-areniscas, lodolitas y areniscas con estructuras mareales; calizas mudstone y wackstone, lutitas negras con abundantes trazas de amonites y bivalvos son afectadas por un pliegue anticlinal. En el río Upano, calizas y lutitas fosilíferas son cubiertas en discordancia por limolitas multicolores y red beds. Considerando la descripción inicial de la Unidad Upano, se restringe a esta secuencia a rocas meta-volcánicas y meta-pelíticas de bajo grado de metamorfismo en facies de sub-esquistos verdes relacionadas a la dinámica regional. En este estudio, cuarzo-areniscas y lodolitas con estructuras mareales son incluidas en la Formación Hollín, calizas y lutitas con Inoceramus sp. y Harleites sp. (?) son asociadas a la Formación Napo; y secuencias de red beds son vinculadas a la Formación Tena. La presencia de bloques y escamas tectónicas compuestos por las formaciones Hollín, Napo y Tena de la Cuenca Oriente en el frente de la cuña orogénica, afectadas por zonas de corrimiento y pliegues de arrastre indican que la falla Palanda-Méndez-Cosanga, no constituye un límite de terreno entre secuencias metamórficas de la Cordillera Real y secuencias sedimentarias de la Cuenca Oriente. Al contrario, nuestros datos concuerdan con el modelo de canibalización de secuencias de foreland.
