Miocene magmatism in NW Mexico (Sonora) is dominated diverse magmatic products. This variety is due to the subduction of the Farallon plate under the North American plate (Bennett & Oskin, 2014;Bennett et al., 2017;Gans, 1997;Stock & Hodges, 1989) and because oblique rifting since ∼12.5 Ma. The early phase of this oblique rifting is sometimes referred to as the proto-Gulf of California (PGC; Karig & Jensky, 1972). The PGC formed between ∼12.5 and 6 Ma, eventually forming the present-day Gulf of California (GOC; Figure 1). Although the PGC was proposed as a volcano-tectonic rift zone with orthogonal extension (Karig & Jensky, 1972), at the eastern margin of the GOC (along coastal Sonora), the deformation is widely characterized by clockwise (CW) vertical axis block rotation, strike-slip faulting, and tilting blocks of volcanic and intrusive rocks (Bennett
