Volcán Telcampana, seen here from the SW, is one of a cluster of late-Pleistocene scoria cones that formed within the southern Colima graben, at the NW base of Nevado de Colima volcano. Pyroclastic surge deposits were emplaced when the cone erupted through a former lake or marsh and are exposed in roadcuts on the west side of the volcano.
