Geology, geochronology, and tectonic setting of the Jorullo Volcano region, Michoacán, México

TL;DR: The Jorullo monogenetic volcano erupted 250 years ago at the southern border of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB), an area that records a long history of magmatic and tectonic activity as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconstruction of the volcanic history of the Tacámbaro-Puruarán area (Michoacán, México) reveals high frequency of Holocene monogenetic eruptions

TL;DR: The 690 km2 Tacambaro-Puruaran area located at the arc-front part of the Michoacan-Guanajuato volcanic field in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) records a protracted history of volcanism that culminated with intense monogenetic activity in the Holocene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phenocrysts versus xenocrysts in the youngest Toba Tuff: Implications for the petrogenesis of 2800 km3 of magma

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used petrology and 40 Ar/39 Ar dating of biotite, sanidine, hornblende, and plagioclase from the Toba Tuff to investigate the petrogenesis of the 2800 km 3 of the youngest Toba tuff.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Sierra Ballena Shear Zone in the southernmost Dom Feliciano Belt (Uruguay): evolution, kinematics, and deformation conditions

TL;DR: The Sierra Ballena Shear Zone (SBSZ) is part of a high-strain transcurrent system that divides the Neoproterozoic Dom Feliciano Belt of South America into two different domains as discussed by the authors.
