Stratigraphic reconstruction of the lower–middle Miocene Goto Group, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan
The Goto Islands are located at the westernmost tip of the Japan archipelago, and preserve a lower–middle Miocene sedimentary sequence deposited during rifting of the continental margin and opening of the Sea of Japan. The stratigraphy of the Goto Group and new K–Ar, fission-track, and U–Pb age data were used to determine the initial conditions of rifting in southwest Japan. The thickness of the Goto Group is 2000–3000 m. The lower unit (ca. 22–17.6 Ma) consists of thick, greenish, volcaniclastic rocks with basaltic volcanic material, representing the initial stages of continental rifting. The middle unit (ca. −17.6 Ma) consists of alternating sandstones and shales deposited in lacustrine and meandering fluvial environments in a syn-rift sedimentary basin during a period of volcanic activity. The upper unit (ca. 17.6–16.8 Ma) consists of thick sandstones of fluvial–deltaic facies that were deposited during rapid subsidence at the continental margin. This unit was deposited by a large fluvial system that flowed into the Sea of Japan. These sequences contain relatively cooler to warmer flora (Daijima-type) and record the warm period of the Miocene Climatic Optimum. The Goto felsic volcanic rocks (16.8 ~ 15.4 Ma) unconformably overlie the Goto Group, and granitic magmatism (ca. 16–14.5 Ma) occurred after sedimentation of the Goto Group. The widespread lacustrine, meandering–braided fluvial, and vast deltaic systems of the Goto Group, and felsic volcanism, were formed due to rapid subsidence that produced a horst-and-graben basin during the early stages of rifting of a volcanic arc along the eastern margin of Eurasia. These events occurred from 22.0 to 16.8 Ma before and during the formation of the Sea of Japan.
期刊介绍:
Island Arc is the official journal of the Geological Society of Japan. This journal focuses on the structure, dynamics and evolution of convergent plate boundaries, including trenches, volcanic arcs, subducting plates, and both accretionary and collisional orogens in modern and ancient settings. The Journal also opens to other key geological processes and features of broad interest such as oceanic basins, mid-ocean ridges, hot spots, continental cratons, and their surfaces and roots. Papers that discuss the interaction between solid earth, atmosphere, and bodies of water are also welcome. Articles of immediate importance to other researchers, either by virtue of their new data, results or ideas are given priority publication.
Island Arc publishes peer-reviewed articles and reviews. Original scientific articles, of a maximum length of 15 printed pages, are published promptly with a standard publication time from submission of 3 months. All articles are peer reviewed by at least two research experts in the field of the submitted paper.
