The eroded Sangangüey edifice was constructed during the Pleistocene and its flanks contain 45 scoria cones, some of which have erupted during the Holocene. The cone forming the peak on the lower right horizon and the cone highlighted by the sun below and to the right of the summit in this view from the south are among the youngest.
