Background:
A group of Pliocene-Pleistocene dacitic lava domes, the Dúrika volcanic field (also known as the Río Lori domes), lies in the Talamanca Range of eastern Costa Rica. A Potassium-Argon date of 0.9 million years was obtained from one of the domes (de Boer et al., 1995). The domes lie on the NE side of the crest of the Talamanca Range near the headwaters of the Río Lori, a tributary of the Río Coen.---
