Volcán Tepetiltic is an andesitic and dacitic stratovolcano truncated by an elliptical 5 x 2.5 km caldera that contains a lake at its NE corner. The caldera, with steep-sided walls elongated NE-SW, originated during a major rhyodacitic eruption that produced Plinian-airfall, pyroclastic-flow, and pyroclastic-surge deposits around the volcano. Caldera collapse was closely followed by emplacement of lava domes on the eastern flank. Two andesitic domes were later emplaced on the caldera floor, and chemically unrelated flank cinder cones were erupted.
