Geography
Country: | Japan | State/province: | Okinawa |
Coordinates: | 26.2° North, 127.8° East (view map) | ||
Paleocoordinates: | 26.3° North, 127.6° East | ||
Basis of coordinate: | estimated from map | ||
Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
Period: | Quaternary | Epoch: | Pleistocene |
Stage: | Gelasian | 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 6 |
Key time interval: | Gelasian | ||
Age range of interval: | 2.58800 - 1.80600 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
Geological group: | Shimajiri | Formation: | Shinzato | ||
Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: The uppermost part of the Shimajiri Formation. Shinzato Formation correlated with planktonic foram zones PL5/6 and nannoplankton zones CN12b (upper part), 12c, and 12d by Ujiie (1994). This spans the latest Piacenzian and Gelasian, but a Gelasian age is assigned here following Sato et al. (1999) and Komatsubara et al. (2005). |
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: | tuffaceous,gray poorly lithified silty,sandy claystone |
Includes fossils? | Y |
Lithology description: Consists for the most part of sandy or silty clays with minor partings of ash. Its color ranges from dark gray to light gray. | |
Environment: | deep-water indet. |
Geology comments: Molluscs found in assemblages of the Shinzato Tuff Member occur in depths as much as 300 m, although some can be in shallower water. Generally the assemblage should be regarded as deep-water. |
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation: | body,original aragonite |
Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
Collection methods and comments
Collection methods: | selective quarrying,field collection |
Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis |
