Abstract
Abstract. Conglomerate of the Lower Jurassic Kuruma Group contains microfossil-bearing clasts. In the present study, these microfossils were investigated via the hydrofluoric acid (HF)-etched surfaces of the clasts and residues produced during acid treatment. As a result, Permian (mainly Guadalupian–Lopingian) radiolarians were obtained from mudstone and chert clasts; spicules of indeterminate age were obtained from the chert clasts. The mudstone clasts were derivable from the Akiyoshi, Ultra-Tamba, Maizuru, and/or Hida-Gaien belts or equivalent units, while the spicule-dominated chert clasts likely originated from the Akiyoshi belt or equivalent units. Except for tuff and acidic volcanic rocks, the clast components of the Kuruma Group in this study are similar to the component rocks of the Akiyoshi belt.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
