Coal-bearing terrestrial to shallow marine strata in Northeast Japan were deposited in a forearc basin along the Eurasian continental margin during the Cretaceous–Paleogene. The rocks exposed in the Kado district, Iwate Prefecture, in the northern Kitakami Mountains include the Upper Cretaceous Yokomichi Formation and the Paleogene Kogawa Group; the latter is known for high-quality refractory clay (kaolin clay). However, their stratigraphy and sedimentological characteristics are not yet fully understood. To reconstruct the formation and filling of the basin, we investigated field observations, U–Pb dating of tuff samples, XRD analysis of tuff and mudstone samples, and vitrinite reflectance of coal samples in this sequence. The U–Pb ages of the Yokomichi Formation and the Kogawa Group are ∼86 Ma and 58–52 Ma, respectively. The U–Pb age of the kaolin-dominated tuffaceous rock (“red rocks”) is 56.1 ± 0.2 Ma. The mean random vitrinite reflectance (VR<sub>r</sub>) ranges from 0.37% to 0.53% through the sequence. We propose the following sequence for the formation and filling of the basin.

In coarse-grained layers, hydrates are generally concentrated preferentially in the pore space, and their formation is influenced by pore water salinity. To understand how geophysical and geochemical factors control the distribution of methane hydrates, we conducted numerical simulations using a one-dimensional flow model under different reservoir and fluid conditions in the Kumano Forearc Basin, Nankai Trough, Japan. Assuming an estimated range of methane flux between 0.002 and 1.9 kg m<sup>−2</sup> year<sup>−1</sup>, three flow scenarios were considered. When the methane flux was relatively small, the results coincided with the observed hydrate distribution. In general, a low-methane flux decreases the hydrate saturation upward from the bottom of the methane hydrate stability, whereas a high-methane flux increases the saturation downward. These results also suggest that the sediment structure, such as the fracture distribution, influences the sediment stress conditions and constrains the flow regime. We further examined the effects of permeability changes in the heterogeneous lithological units on the simulation results using typical permeabilities of 10<sup>−13</sup> m<sup>2</sup> for sand and 10<sup>−15</sup> m<sup>2</sup> for mud. The results showed that hydrate saturation sharply increased and decreased in adjacent high- and low-permeability units, respectively.

However, recent geochronological studies have demonstrated that both para- and ortho-gneisses in the Oki-Dogo Island display Paleoproterozoic protolith formation and two separate phases of metamorphism at 1.85 Ga and 250–230 Ma. Consequently, the Oki metamorphic rocks are closely connected to the Paleoproterozoic massifs in the Korean Peninsula, although little is known about their pressure (P)–temperature (T) history. Here, we provide petrological data on mafic metamorphic rocks in the Oki-Dogo Island. The mafic lithologies are classified into mafic granulite, amphibolitized granulite and amphibolite. In addition, we first discover a garnet-bearing variety of amphibolite from the Oki-Dogo Island. The texture and composition of Ca amphibole suggest these rock types share a common P–T history but the dominant mineral assemblage in each rock type records different stages of metamorphism. The inferred P–T history includes two distinct events. The first event includes a low-P granulite facies stage (~900°C, 0.7–0.8 GPa) and subsequent amphibolite facies retrogression. This event is linked to the continuous compositional change of Ca amphibole from Ti-rich pargasite to hornblende/actinolite. The second event is prograde amphibolite facies metamorphism, which is associated with the formation of tschermakitic hornblende and calcic plagioclase. In high Fe/(Mg + Fe) rocks, garnet was formed at ~550–580°C, 0.45–0.50 GPa in this stage. Depending on the age of the first event, the low-P granulite facies metamorphism is likely to have occurred in a similar tectonic setting as the Paleoproterozoic crustal metamorphism in the Yeongnam Massif or the Permo-Triassic ultrahigh-T metamorphism in the northern Gyeonggi Massif.</p>","PeriodicalId":14791,"journal":{"name":"Island Arc","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45793833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents the results of a geochemical and particle size analysis of sediment samples from the Sanriku coastal area of Northeast Japan, including inside and outside of Otsuchi Bay and the three rivers that flow into the bay. Otsuchi Bay area is known to have been severely affected by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of the Tohoku Earthquake and tsunami, and tsunami deposits on its seabed have been reported. The present geochemical analysis indicates that the sediments along those three rivers are well explained by the mixing of rocks occurring in their respective provenance. The chemical composition and particle size distribution of the sediments within Otsuchi Bay suggested the removal of coarse-grained quartz. They increased the abundance of fine-grained mafic minerals from Unosumai River having the largest catchment area among the three rivers. During shell debris in the seabed sediment outside of the bay made interpretation of the results was difficult; the sediments collected closer to the bay mouth contained more coarse-grained material with a composition closer to granitoid and sandstone in the provenance. In contrast, offshore sediments consisted of finer grains with a composition closer to mudstone.

However, the buried soft body releases the degraded material into the surrounding sediments. The degraded material can be preserved as invisible signals of some chemicals or authigenic minerals, which can be revealed by the elemental distribution of the fossils' surface and their surrounding rock. As a method for surface elemental mapping, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurement requires the samples to be ground and polished as a mirror-like plane that keeps a stable distance of X-ray source-sample-detector. This destructive pretreatment is undesirable for precious fossils. To rectify this problem, a nondestructive XRF for element mapping of the fossils' 3D surface is newly invented. The new equipment can follow the 3D shape model to keep the distance for every XRF scanned point. We performed the element mapping of Ca and Fe on the surface of a marine sauropterygian fossil (<i>Keichousaurus hui</i>) and its surrounding sediments, and found that the soft tissue around the thoracic cage is thicker than the abdomen. The abnormal elemental distribution on the area of the angular and surangular of the skull can be explained as unprofessionally prepared. In addition, this research found that elemental mapping revealed the invisible signals of the paleoenvironment around fossils and information for the reconstruction of soft-tissue anatomy.
