QUANTITATIVE BIOSTRATIGRAPHIC MODEL FOR THE TERTIARY OF THE LOWER MAGDALENA BASIN, COLOMBIAN CARIBBEAN
The reinterpretation of biostratigraphic information by new models and quantitative correlation techniques substantially improves its resolution and its correlative potential, thus minimizing oil exploration risks. With this aim, biostratigraphic information, i.e. first (FO) and last (LO) occurrence...

The reinterpretation of biostratigraphic information by new models and quantitative correlation techniques substantially improves its resolution and its correlative potential, thus minimizing oil exploration risks. With this aim, biostratigraphic information, i.e. first (FO) and last (LO) occurrence events of benthonic and planktonic foraminifera was analysed from sixteen wells from the Lower Magdalena Valley (LMV). The inconsistencies found in the biostratigraphic record, i.e. varying successions of first and last appearances of species from well to well as a result of several factors such incomplete sampling and preservation, true variation in the distribution of fosil taxa, etc., and the great amount of biostratigraphic data makes it practically impossible to accurately constrain basin history from biostratigraphic information by unaided visual inspection. This motivates the treatment of biostratigraphic information with new quantitative approaches, such as constrained optimization (CONOP9 software) and graphic correlation concepts (GraphCor 3,0) and the comparative method approach of Cooper et al .
