Southwestern Nicaragua is made up of several Cretaceous to Cenozoic stratigraphic units consisting of sedimentary rocks resting on a aphiolitic basement of Jurassict to mid-Cretaceous age. The sedimentary sequence is dominated by colcaniclastic rocks which represent a Shallowing-up succesion from deep marine turbidities to Shallow marine and continental deposits.
