Central American Isthmus

The central evolutionary, ecological and paleoceanographic questions of the American tropical Neogene relate to how and during what time the Central American Isthmus formed. Geographically, closure was located between the southern edge of the Chortis Block in southern Nicaragua and the Atrato Valley in Colombia. In this region we describe, on the Caribbean side, five Neogene sedimentary basins. They are the Atrato, Chucunaque, Gatun, Bocas del Toro, and Limon Basins. On the Pacific side the Neogene sediments formed as part of the Central American Trench and are well exposed in a series of uplifted blocks on the Nicoya, Osa and Burica Peninsulas. Our analysis allows 1) a construction of the sequence of contrasting sedimentary environments which characterize the different basins, giving a composite geological history of the isthmus for the Late Neogene and 2) identifies the comparable biofacies from the different basins which allow and constrain the evolutionary and ecological questions to be posed concerning the effect of the isthmus as a biogeographic barrier. Temporally, from it's partial emergence in the Middle Miocene, the isthmus shallows by the Early Pliocene (3.5–3.4 Ma) to less than 50 m (Duque-Caro, 1990) when there is a marked differentiation of shelf marine macrobenthic species between the Caribbean and the Pacific. The evidence from reliably dated, large, diverse exchanges of North and South American vertebrates on land constrains the final closure date to not later than 2.8–2.5 Ma (Marshall, 1988). Given that no conclusive evidence for final closure can come exclusively from a study of sedimentary facies, when depths of less than 50 m are involved, the present window of almost 1 Ma, during which final closure must have occurred, will only be narrowed further by the detailed study of very shallow-water fossil clades and complementary molecular data. Present studies indicate that such clades are abundantly preserved.

SummaryThe Hardy Formation, a sequence of Upper Mesozoic volcanic rocks exposed in Peninsula Hardy (Isla Hoste) in the southernmost archipelago of Chile represents, at least in part, the island-arc assemblage of an island-arc-marginal-basin system related to an eastward dipping subduction zone. This island arc was founded on South American continental crust and is also represented in the island of South Georgia 2000 km to the E. The island-arc assemblage includes pyroclastic rocks, characterized by a high proportion of vitric material, and lava intercalations ranging in composition from rhyolite to basalt. These rocks underwent zeolite and prehnite-pumpellyite facies metamorphism and are gently folded, in contrast with the intense folding exhibited by the rocks exposed to the north of Peninsula Hardy. Silicic volcanics assigned to this assemblage underlie pillow lavas, and are intruded by dolerites and gabbros probably related to a Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous ophiolite magmatism associated with the generation of a quasioceanic marginal basin. Volcanic turbidites (Yahgan Formation) were deposited into the marginal basin.It is suggested that in pre-marginal basin times the Hardy Formation interfingered towards the Atlantic with the silicic volcanics of the Tobifera Formation. However, recent geochemical work on the Tobifera Formation suggest an origin by continental crust anatexis in a volcano-tectonic rift zone related to upper mantle diapirism, whereas an island arc origin is favoured for at least the andesitic and basaltic components of the Hardy Formation. Therefore, the geology of Peninsula Hardy as presented here, confirms early assumptions of the splitting apart of a Middle–Upper Jurassic volcanic terrain along the Pacific margin of South America during the generation of a marginal basin. The spreading axis of the latter seems to have been located at the boundary of two somewhat overlapping petrotectonic assemblages: and island arc on the Pacific side and a silicic volcano-tectonic rift zone towards the Atlantic. A probably Cenozoic volcanic complex discordantly overlies the Yahgan and Hardy formations.

The Reserva Biológica San Luis is a small protected area located on the Pacific side of the Cordillera de Tilarán, northwestern Costa Rica, with a forest transitioning between the basal and premontane floras according to Holdridge’s Life Zones. An inventory of the vascular flora of the reserve was performed by collecting botanical samples during three years and consulting the databases of the CR, INB, MO and USJ herbaria. We report 130 families, 477 genera and 716 species of native vascular plants. Angiosperms comprise the largest group with 94.3%, followed by Pteridophytes 5.4% and Lycophytes 0.3%. The best represented life forms are herbaceous and arborescent with 35.7% and 26.8% respectively. Fabaceae and Piper are the most diverse family and genus, with 67 and 15 species respectively. Despite occupying 0.000049% of the total area of Costa Rica, this reserve protects approximately 7.3% of the vascular plants of the country.
