Two small eruptive vents that produced lava flows lie about 3 km apart in the Callejón de Tilocálar area. Lava flows overlie Pliocene ignimbrites and were considered to be of Pleistocene-Holocene age by González-Ferrán (1995). The larger feature, Tilocálar Sur, lies about 3.5 km SW of Tilocálar Norte. Four basaltic andesite to andesitic lava flows originated from Tilocálar Sur, and an explosion crater lies a kilometer to the south. The Tilocálar Norte lies near the eastern wall of the Callejón de Tilocálar and produced lava flows that traveled primarily to the north.
