The Guadalupe Group overlies the
Conejo Formation in the central part of the Altiplano Cundiboyacense and the
Chipaque Formation in the eastern part and is overlain by the
Guaduas Formation. Some authors define the Guadalupe Group as a
formation and call the individual formations
members.[2] The thickness of the Guadalupe Group in its
type localityGuadalupe Hill and the El Cable Hill is 750 metres (2,460 ft).[3] The age has been estimated to be
Campanian-
Maastrichtian.[4] The Guadalupe Group has been deposited in a marine environment.[5]
At present, the Guadalupe Group in the anticlinals of
Zipaquirá and
Nemocón contains
rock salt. These halite deposits are not originally deposited in the Late Cretaceous Guadalupe Group, yet are allochthonous
diapirs formed when the
Jurassic-
Lower Cretaceousnormal faults were reactivated as
reverse faults during the mayor
Miocene tectonic movements of the Eastern Ranges.[7] The salt had been deposited during the
Early Cretaceous (
Valanginian-
Barremian, approximately 135 to 125 Ma),[8] intruding into the overlying formations of the Upper Cretaceous.[9]
