The Global Volcanism Program is not aware of any Holocene eruptions from Santo Domingo Volcanic Field. If this volcano has had large eruptions (VEI >= 4) prior to 12,000 years ago, information might be found on the Santo Domingo Volcanic Field page in the LaMEVE (Large Magnitude Explosive Volcanic Eruptions) database, a part of the Volcano Global Risk Identification and Analysis Project (VOGRIPA).
There is no Deformation History data available for Santo Domingo Volcanic Field.
There is no Emissions History data available for Santo Domingo Volcanic Field.
This pile of xenoliths was collected during field work at the Joya de los Contreras maar. The Santo Domingo maars are the source of mantle-derived spinel-lherzolite xenoliths and deep-crustal granulite xenoliths. The light-colored areas on the rims of the xenoliths are a coating of caliche. The scale at the lower right marks 10 cm on the left side.
Large lithic blocks in tuff breccias of the Joya de Los Contreras maar form bomb sags that are exposed in three dimensions by differential erosion. The blocks impacted into the previously deposited lighter-colored tuffs, and the pits were subsequently filled by darker-colored crudely laminated surge deposits. The Joya de Los Contreras maar, 750 m by 1000 m wide, is the largest of the Santo Domingo volcanic field.
A thick sequence of bedded pyroclastic-surge deposits is exposed in the vertical western wall of La Joya Prieta maar in the Santo Domingo volcanic field in the southern Basin and Range province in the state of San Luis Potosí. The Santo Domingo field contains a group of four maars, the largest of which is the 750 x 1000 m wide La Joya de los Contreras maar, along with several alkalic cinder cones and associated lava flows. The Santo Domingo maars are the source of mantle-derived spinel-lherzolite xenoliths and deep-crustal granulite xenoliths.Maps are not currently available due to technical issues.
The following 20 samples associated with this volcano can be found in the Smithsonian's NMNH Department of Mineral Sciences collections, and may be availble for research (contact the Rock and Ore Collections Manager). Catalog number links will open a window with more information.

WOVOdat
Single Volcano View Temporal Evolution of Unrest Side by Side Volcanoes |
WOVOdat is a database of volcanic unrest; instrumentally and visually recorded changes in seismicity, ground deformation, gas emission, and other parameters from their normal baselines. It is sponsored by the World Organization of Volcano Observatories (WOVO) and presently hosted at the Earth Observatory of Singapore.
GVMID Data on Volcano Monitoring Infrastructure The Global Volcano Monitoring Infrastructure Database GVMID, is aimed at documenting and improving capabilities of volcano monitoring from the ground and space. GVMID should provide a snapshot and baseline view of the techniques and instrumentation that are in place at various volcanoes, which can be use by volcano observatories as reference to setup new monitoring system or improving networks at a specific volcano. These data will allow identification of what monitoring gaps exist, which can be then targeted by remote sensing infrastructure and future instrument deployments. |
| IRIS seismic stations/networks | Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Data Services map showing the location of seismic stations from all available networks (permanent or temporary) within a radius of 0.18° (about 20 km at mid-latitudes) from the given location of Santo Domingo Volcanic Field. Users can customize a variety of filters and options in the left panel. Note that if there are no stations are known the map will default to show the entire world with a "No data matched request" error notice. |
| UNAVCO GPS/GNSS stations | Geodetic Data Services map from UNAVCO showing the location of GPS/GNSS stations from all available networks (permanent or temporary) within a radius of 20 km from the given location of Santo Domingo Volcanic Field. Users can customize the data search based on station or network names, location, and time window. Requires Adobe Flash Player. |
| Large Eruptions of Santo Domingo Volcanic Field | Information about large Quaternary eruptions (VEI >= 4) is cataloged in the Large Magnitude Explosive Volcanic Eruptions (LaMEVE) database of the Volcano Global Risk Identification and Analysis Project (VOGRIPA). |
| EarthChem | EarthChem develops and maintains databases, software, and services that support the preservation, discovery, access and analysis of geochemical data, and facilitate their integration with the broad array of other available earth science parameters. EarthChem is operated by a joint team of disciplinary scientists, data scientists, data managers and information technology developers who are part of the NSF-funded data facility Integrated Earth Data Applications (IEDA).
