Abstract
THE relative or absolute chronology of Late Tertiary and Quaternary events in the Eastern Canary Islands is mostly unknown. Pacheco1 and Hausen2 both attribute the cinder cones and olivine basalts of the central volcanic region of Lanzarote to the Quaternary on general grounds; the preservation and freshness of form.
The northern and southern uplands of Famara (671 m) and Ajaches (561 m), built of weathered lavas and pyroclastics with deep valley dissection, are similarly attributed to the early Tertiary; a formation termed the Tableland Series by Hausen and, in Ajaches, the Ajaches Volcanic Series by Driscoll et al.3.
