Abstract

This work presents the volcanic geology of the easternmost sector of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, including the Serdán-Oriental basin and Cofre de Perote-Citlaltépetl volcanic range, two contrasting Quaternary volcanic fields. The first comprises dominant monogenetic volcanism of bimodal composition including isolated rhyolitic domes and tuff rings, basaltic andesite maar volcanoes, cinder and lava cones, and an active caldera complex (Los Humeros). The second is dominated by large composite polygenetic volcanoes of andesitic-dacitic composition, including the shield-like compound Cofre de Perote volcano, La Gloria and Las Cumbres complexes, and the active Citlaltépetl stratovolcano. Mapping units include a pre-volcanic basement made of metamorphic (Paleozoic), and sedimentary (Jurassic-Cretaceous); intrusive (Miocene) rocks; multiple basaltic-andesitic lava flows and rhyolitic domes; volcaniclastic sequences (debris avalanches and lahars; and pyroclastic deposits (block-and-ash flows, ignimbrites, fallouts, and surges) (Miocene-Holocene). This map provides a comprehensive view of the highly diverse volcanism, which may reference for future research work.
