The dramatic spine in the summit crater of Tequila volcano rises 300 m above the crater floor. The dacitic spine, similar to the one at Sangangüey volcano, has been dated at 210,000 years and occupies a summit depression that is breached to the NE. The spine appears to represent the latest activity from the central vent of Tequila. Photo by Paul Wallace, 1990 (University of California Berkeley).
