Xenoliths and megacrysts in the ignimbrite/tuff series of Roque Nublo formation.
Roque Nublo (Clouded Rock, Rock in the Clouds) is a volcanic rock on the island of Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. It is 67 m (220 ft) tall, and its top is 1,813 m (5,948 ft) above sea level. The Roque Nublo is the third-highest altitude of the island of Gran Canaria, after the Morro de la Agujereada with 1,956 meters, and the Pico de las Nieves with 1,949 meters.
It was formed by a volcanic eruption around 4.5 million years ago.
Roque Nublo is located within the Nublo Rural Park, a 263,074 km² (101,573 sq mi) rural park in the municipality of Tejeda, in the geographical centre of Gran Canaria. Next to the Roque Nublo are other unique rock formations, such as the so-called Roque del Fraile and La Rana.
