The digital geological map of the southern sector of the Mesa Central province is presented, covering an area of ~41 000 km2 in central Mexico. This first interactive map is a compilation of the geological maps available in the literature and the unpublished maps done by our work team. The map focuses on the Cenozoic stratigraphy, supported by a geochronological database of 261 isotopic ages derived from K-Ar, U-Pb, Ar-Ar, and fission tracks methods. The interactive map displays the lithostratigraphic and chronostratigraphic units and the major and second-order Cenozoic faults. Map construction considered lithostratigraphy and geochronological correlation criteria and the main unconformities. Integrating these data in a single digital map allows a regional vision of the southern Mesa Central, making the map a valuable work tool to better understand the Cenozoic geologic evolution of central Mexico.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
