This volume focuses on three subjects: reviews of some of the geological provinces,
VOLCANOLOGY major faults that constitute tectonic borders, and ore deposits. Papers are of general or
regional character but provide a deep treatment of the themes and bring together useful
information for researchers, students, technicians, and others interested in México.

A FIELD GUIDE VOLUME
The Southern Cordillera and Beyond
Edited by José Jorge Aranda-Gómez, Gustavo Tolson, and Roberto S. Molina-Garza
FLD025, 193 p., ISBN 9780813700250 | $10.00
Prepared in conjunction with the 2012 GSA Cordilleran Section Meeting, Querétaro, Mexico,
this volume’s eight guides showcase three aspects of the geology of the southern end of
the North America cordillera: Mid-Tertiary and Quaternary volcanology, environmental
geology, and Mesozoic tectonics. This volume explores the Cenozoic stratigraphy of Sierra
de Guanajuato, an important Mexican mining district, and addresses the accretion of the
Guerrero terrane and its possible role in the Late Cretaceous–Early Tertiary orogeny.
