Abstract

Geological mapping and potential field studies in the State of Colima, Mexico were conducted to study previously interpreted neotectonic extension across the Colima graben. Our studies indicate that little, or no, extension has occurred south of Volcan de Colima and that the features previously inferred to be extensional structures are instead erosionallandforms related to older deformation and downcut streams due to rapid sedimentation from Volcan de Colima.
