Abstract

The map displays the geological cartography of central Tampico-Misantla basin, and geochronological database of igneous Cenozoic rocks in the area. The rock units are organized as  chronostratigraphic units as reported by previous authors. All the pre-Cenozoic sedimentary units, continental and marine, were grouped as Permian-Cretaceous sediments, considering that all reported igneous rocks are of Cenozoic age. The layer of geochronology correspond to K-Ar ages (from Ferrari et al., 2005). The map also shows the Late Cretaceous-early Cenozoic major folds and reverse faults and major Cenozoic normal faults.

Purpose

This work was done to draw attention to the volcanic and intrusive cenozoic rocks of the Eastern Mexican Alkaline province in central Tampico-Misantla basin, where research traditionally has focused on stratigraphy and hydrocarbons. Is believed that the map will be a valuable tool that will serve as foundation for the advancement of geological knowledge of east-central Mexico.
