  • EN EL AREA AFLORAN CALIZAS, LAS CUALES SE ENCUENTRAN INTRUIDAS POR ROCAS DIORITICAS. EN LAS PARTES ALTAS SE EXPONEN DERRAMES VOLCANICOS QUE SE DESTACAN POR SU INTENSA COLORACION ROJIZA. AQUI SE ENCUENTRAN MANIFESTACIONES DE UNA ACTIVIDAD DE METASOMATISMO DE CONTACTO. ES PROBABLE QUE EN PROFUNDIDAD SE LOCALICEN CUERPOS AISLADOS DE SULFUROS DE PLATA, PLOMO, ZINC Y COBRE.
