Las Lagunas Thin to medium bedded calcareous shales and phyllites with interbedded limestone layers. Hatillo Massively bedded reef limestones. Los Ranchos Dacite dome and. Includes: - massively-bedded lapilli tuff with hydrothermally altered lithic fragments and quartz eyes (v pattern). - massive dacite porphyry dome with quartz phenocrysts (+ pattern). - matrix-supported dacite vent (triangle pattern). Medium-bedded (5-50cm) epiclastic carbonaceous sandstones with interbedded carbonaceous siltstones. Conglomeratic adjacent to domes. Thinly-bedded (.5-5cm) epiclastic carbonaceous siltstones with interbedded carbonaceous sandstone. Coarser-grained adjacent to domes. Epiclastic lapilli tuff s with interbedded carbonaceous sediments. Grades laterally into carbonaceous sandstone. Coarsely-fragmental epiclastic crumble containing abundant unsorted andesite clasts and lesser epiclastic sedimentary clasts. Occurs within and adjacent to exogenous basaltic andesite domes. Andesite flows, domes, and s. Includes: - massively-bedded lapilli tuff with abundant mafic to intermediate fragments and no quartz eyes (v pattern). - massive, crowded-feldspar porphyry domes and flows (+ pattern). - steeply-dipping andesite dikes (shaded).
