unnamed volcano eruptions: unknown Last earthquakes nearby:
The cone sits on top of Miocene ignimbrites and lava flows. It has erupted relatively fluid blocky lava flows that form a broad lobe to the SE and a narrow tongue to the east nearly to the Salar Río Grande. A second smaller vent lies about 800 m NW of the cinder cone. The age of the lava flows with surficial breadcrust textures could be Holocene. (Smithsonian / GVP volcano information) |
