From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tahamí (Spanish: Terreno Tahamí, TT) or Tahamí-Panzenú Terrane is one of the geological provinces (terranes) of Colombia. The terrane, dating to the Permo-Triassic, is situated on the North Andes Plate. The contact with the Chibcha, Arquía and Quebradagrande Terranes is formed by the megaregional Romeral Fault System.[1] A tiny terrane is located at the contact with the Quebradagrande Terrane; Anacona Terrane.[2]
