This sequence is formed by mildly alkalinebasaltic pillow lavas interbedded with massive lava flows, pillow breccias, hyaloclastites, lapillituffs, and cognate feeder dikes capped by ribbon cherts and other pelagic flysch-like sediments.Mineralogically, the pillow lavas and cognate diabasic dikes are composed of titaniferoussalite/augite, albite, ilmenite, titanite, prehnite, and pumpellyite. Geochemically, they are characterizedby high contents of TiO2, Zr, Nb, and P2O5, high Ti/V ratios (49-61), and slightly enrichedLREE-patterns (2 < LaN/YbN < 4). These rocks are interpreted as remnants of shallow water depositsof intra-plate seamounts formed as a result of hot-spot volcanism. 2003 artículo científico 1026-8774 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57220103 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=572 Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas (México) Num.1 Vol.20
