The seamount base (also known as the Submarine Edifice) of La Gomera was built by volcanic eruptions during the Miocene Epoch. The precise age range of this submarine volcanic activity is uncertain. Dating done in the early 1970s suggested that submarine volcanic eruptions occurred from 20 Ma to 15 Ma, followed by an erosion gap of 5 million years.
