The eruptive rocks of the southwest Basin of Mexico

Abstract

This issue of the Bulletin is the explanatory text of the Geological and Petrographic Plan of the Basin of Mexico, S.W. Region, by Del Castillo y Ordóñez, published by the Mexican Geological Commission in 1893 (reproduced in De Cserna, 1990, Plate 3). It presents a general description of the Basin of Mexico and a more detailed description of its southwestern part, which corresponds approximately to Mexico City and its surrounding urban area. It is accompanied by a petrographic study of the igneous rocks that demonstrates the author's mastery of volcanology.
