“…More recently, Verma (2002), from multiple geological, geochemical, and geophysical evidence, inferred that, in southern Mexico, the volcanism is unrelated to the subduction of the Cocos Plate beneath the North American Plate and Verma (2006) attributed the origin of the LTVF solely to continental extension from a garnet‐bearing mantle source (without any imprint from the subduction of the Cocos Plate). Even more recently, other workers (e.g., Espindola, Lopez‐Loera, Mena, & Zamora‐Camacho, 2016; Espíndola, Zamora‐Camacho, Godinez, Schaaf, & Rodríguez, 2010) mentioned the controversy about the origin of the LTVF, without favouring any model. Therefore, the origin of the LTVF is still unresolved.…”
