| Author | Suzuki, Shigeyuki| |
| Abstract | Postglacial relative sea-level change of the Okayama Plain Area has been analyzed. Former sea-levels were recognized by using peat beds and marine organisms which are also available for 14C dating. Peat beds were rhought to be formed under a stable sea-level condition. 14C ages of the analyzed peat beds were seprated by 4 groups ; 30～18 ka BP, 11～8 ka BP, 6～4 ka BP and 3～2.5 ka BP, indicate 4 stable sea-level periods. 2 transgressive events (18～11 ka BP and 8～6 ka BP) and one regressive event (3.5?～3 ka BP) were also inferred. |

| Title Alternative | Paleoenvironmental Analyses of the Buried Peat Deposit during the mid-Holocene at the Desaki Coast in Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture, Weatern Japan |

| Abstract | The buried peat deposit was foud in the sand beach on the Desaki coast (Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture), the northeastern coast of Seto Inland Sea. In this study, we performed sulfur and diatom analyses of the deposit. The results were used along with 14C dates and the eruption age (7300 cal BP) of Kikai-Akahoya tephra (K-Ab) to derive sedimentary environments of the deposit. K-Ah was detected just below the peat deposit. At the culmination of the Jomon transgression, the peat deposit had been formed in brackish environments of salt marsh for about 300 years. In order to reconstruct local paleovegetation, we analyzed pollen, wood and plant fossils in the deposit. The results show vegetational transition from a deciduous broadleaved forest mainly of Ouercus subgen. Lepidobalanus to Pinus forest. In spite of the Holocene thermal optimum, the vegetation dominated by Ouercus subgen. Cyclobanopsis was not recognized at the Desaki site, as has been shown in many other regions of regions of western Japan. Ouercus sect. Prinus was replaced by Ouercus sect. Aegilops as the dominant section of Ouercus subgen. Lepidobalanus, suggesting early establishment of traditional rural vegetation of 'Satoyama' in Japan. However, no evidence for human agency has been obtained from the mid-Holocene archaeological sites around the Desaki site. Thus it is more likely that this vegetational transition resulted from the succession caused by natural forces such as ecological disturbance and climatic and/or endemic situations rather than by cultural deforestation. |

| Abstract | The "Kibi Plateau" forms a unique geomorphic province with the gently-sloping and stable continental feature. Gravel deposites called the "Mountain Gravels", are distributed sporadically in the Kibi Plateau, and have been considered Pliocene deposits. However, recent fission-track ages of the tuff beds intercalated in the deposits have indicated that the ago of deposits are Paleogen in the age. So far, fission-track ages (using zircon) of 61 to 65, 55, 37, 34 to 35 and 27 Ma are obtained. Remaining the belt-like distributions of the Paleogene gravelly valley-full deposits suggest that the Kibe Plateau has been keeping as a stable block, and repeated periods of incision followed by sedimentation of valley-fill deposits are occurred in the area during Paleogene period. |

| Abstract | The Miocene Katauta Group of the Syohoku-cho area is subdivides into 6 members ; The Uetsuki Conglomerate Member, Nara Sandy Mudstone Member, Tai Gravelly Sandstone Member, Takatori Conglomerate Member, Ayabe Mudstone Member and Maruyama Mutstone Member from bottom to top. The unconformity between Miocene deposits and basement rocks in this area was traced to obtain geometry of the Miocene basin. Contour maps of the bases of the Miocene Yoshino Formation and Takakura Formation indicate paleo-topography. The obtained topography demonstrates a valley, which flowed to north-west, and a few islands and bays. It indicates that these Miocene successuions were deposited in the topography which resemble to the present Seto Inland. |

| Abstract | In this paper, we deal with the Miocene Ukan Formation, sporadically distributed in Ukan-cho, Okayama prefecture, from a viewpoint of analysis of lithology and molluscan assemblages. The Ukan Formation is lithostratigraphically divided into the Suzuoka Conglomerate, Yamagata Muddy Sandstone, Shimoyokomi Sandstone and Conglomerate, Azechi Sandstone and Conglomerate, Tsuneyama Siltstone Members in ascending order. The following 6 molluscan assemblages are recognized. The lower four members and the last member is correlative to the Lower Sandstone and Upper Shale Formation of the Bihoku Group, respectively judging from lithology and fauna. The temporal chages of the above mentioned molluscan assemblages represents that gradual deeping of sea during the depositional period from the Suzuoka Conglomerate and Yamagata Muddy Sandstone Members to the Azechi Sandstone and Conglomerate Member via the Shimoyokomi Sandstone and Conglomerate Member, and abrupt deeping of sea seems to have happened between the Azechi Sandstone and Conglomerate Member and the Tsuneyame Siltstone Member. |

| Author | Suzuki, Shigeyuki| Nakazawa, Keiji| Tanaka, Hajime| |
| Abstract | The Bizen and Tomihara Coalfields which were situated in northern Okayama City, had produced lignite during 1940s. Distribution of coal measures indicates that the coal measures are intercalated in the middle of the so-called "Mountain Gravels". The "Mountain Gravels" is subdivided into two formations ; the older, about 34～35Ma, and the younger, about 27Ma, of fission track ages. The older formation inculudes the Bizen Coal Measures. On the other hand, the Tomihara Coal Measures are intercalated in the younger formation. |

| Abstract | Higher, middle and Lower Terraces (Quaternary) have been distinguished in Yokohama Town, Aomori Prefecture. The Higher Terraces are subdivided into three terraces, H1,H2 and H3. They are distributed in hills. H1 and H2 deposites are composed of gravels of fan deposits. H3 deposits are composed of gravels, sands and mud of alluvial plain deposits. The Middle Terraces are subdivided into three terraces, M1, M1' and M2, and occupy almost all terraces in Yokohama Town. These deposits are composed of beach (sand with gravel) and fan (gravel) deposits. The Lower Terraces are subdivided into two terraces, L1 and L2. The L1 Terrace is distributed in limited area along coast and thought to be composed of beach deposits. The L2 Terrace is distributed in limited area along river and composed of braided stream deposits. |

| Abstract | Petrographic and geochemical study of sandstones from the Kenseki Formation have shown that the sandstones are compositionally immature. The immaturity is reflected geochemically by their low SiO2 contents (52-66 wt%) and petrographically by low modal percents of quartz and K-feldspar, and high modal percents of plagioclase and volcanic lithic fragmants. The Kensaki sandstones are, however, poor in Na2O (up to 2.1 wt%). Both petrography and geochemistry suggest a heterogeneous source lithologies of acidic and basic volcanics, sedimentary, and ultramafic rocks. Petrographic evidence is supplied by quartz and plagioclase of volcanic origin, acidic volcanic fragments, basic volcanic fragments, volcanic glass, serpentinite fragments and detrital spinel grains. Geochemical evidence is provided by high FeO* (total iron as FeO), MgO, TiO2, CaO and K2O contents. Petrographic and geochemical study of the Kenseki sandstones indicate calc-alkaline oceanic island are provenance. The sediments were locally derived, with Alpine-type ultramafic rocks exposed in the north and volcanic materials of the Akiyoshi Belt supplying the bulk of the detritus. |

| Abstract | In eastern Chugoku area, Paleogene deposits have not been recognized until fission-track dating of so called "Mountain Gravels" was carried out (Suzuki et al. 1995). Two sedimentation events in Paleogene time (27Ma and 34-35Ma) are inferred by the F-T dating Major lithology of the Paleogene deposits in the study area is graved which is mainly composed of subrounded to rounded cobbles. The "Mountain Gravels" were previously thought to be lower Quaternary deposits. The "Mountain Gravels" is associsted with coal bearing mud, sand, gravel and breccia deposits. The breccia deposits is distributed sporadically between the "Mountain Gravels" and basement rocks. The deposits are mainly composed of poorly sorted breccia and associated granitic sands. It is inferred that the breccia deposits are talus deposits. |

| Author | Suzuki, Shigeyuki| Inada, Takashi| |
| Abstract | Submarine geological survey using the remotely operated TV vehicle (RV100), was carried out in 4 offshores of the Seto Inland Sea in Kagawa Prefecture. The study areas are west of Kosei Island of Sakaide City, south of Okado-bana of Nankai Town, west of Misaki of Takuma Town and north of Nou-Misaki of Sakaide City. TV vehicle transmite clear pictures of bottom of the sea to the monitor on board. The submarine geology of the study areas are composed of Cretaceous granitic basements and Quaternary sedimentary covers. By using these pictures Recent and Pleistocene deposits could be distinguished and lithology of sediments could also be identified. Lithology of sediments was however difficult to identify using the usual sonic prospecting method. Furthermore, pictures suggesting that ripples are just forming have been obtained. The TV vehicle is convenient in submarine survry, because it can travel much longeer and deeper than human diver. A new method of mapping submarine geology using TV vehicle was developed. |

| Abstract | The Iberian Pyrite Belt is an Upper Paleozoic succession which has been divided into the Phyllite-Quartzite Group, the Volcanic-Sliceous Complex and the Culm Group in ascending order from base to the top. The contacts among them are conformable. These Groups are tightly folded and metamorphosed un-der low-grade conditions during Hercynian times. The first stage folds of the Volcanic-Siliceous Complex and the Culm Group are associate with slaty cleavages (S1), while the Phyllite-Quartzite Group is asso-ciate with schistosities (S1). Fold analysis using cleavages and minoe folds has been utilized in the analysis of the stratigraphy. This led to systematic horizontal collection of specimens (pelitic rocks). S1 texture is defined by paralled alignment of secondary platy minerals which tend to grow larger and together, forming zonal domains toward the Phyllite-Quartzite Group. The clay matrices change to recrystallized quartz toward the Phyllite Quartzite Group. Textural modifications are evidenced by gradational changes from slaty cleavages to schistosities. This shows that recrystallization is the important deformation mecha-nism responsible for S1 development. It also reflects that the deformation was contemporaneous with metamorphism. |
