THE STRUCTURAL STYLE OF FOOTWALL SHORTCUTS ALONG THE EASTERN FOOTHILLS OF THE COLOMBIAN EASTERN CORDILLERA. DIFFERENCES WITH OTHER INVERSION RELATED STRUCTURES ESTILO ESTRUCTURAL DE LAS FALLAS DE ATAJO A LO LARGO DEL PIEDEMONTE ORIENTAL DE LA CORDILLERA ORIENTAL COLOMBIANA. DIFERENCIAS CON OTRAS ESTRUCTURAS RELACIONADAS CON INVERSIÓN TECTÓNICA
