Porto da Cruz | G贸iz-Marques C. A., Jesus J., et al (2019) | According to Brum da Silveira et al. (2010a), the Porto da Cruz area exposes the oldest rocks from the LVC and MVC that were covered by younger volcanism and sediments from the UVC (Fig. 1C). The geological map (Brum da Silveira et al., 2010b, Fig. 1C) shows that LVC1, MVC 1 and 2 occupy most of the Porto da Cruz area. These volcanic complexes were exposed by a landslide (Geldmacher et al., 2000; Quartau et al., 2018) and were fluvially eroded at least until the initial phase of UVC 2 (Fig. 1C). | "shale" | 1.806 - 0.781 Ma Pleistocene |
