Inuyama TR5A-NCU18 (Triassic of Japan)

Where: Japan (35.4° N, 137.0° E)

• Paleocoordinates: 27.4° N, 143.4° E (Wright 2013)

• coordinate estimated from map

When: Metapolygnathus praecommunisti conodont zone, Tuvalian (232.0 - 221.5 Ma)

• radiolarian zone: Capnuchosphaera; sample at 9.97m (Fig. 3); studied sections are in the Kamiaso unit, which consists of thrust sheets of sedimentary sequences containing Triassic to Lower Jurassic bedded cherts and overying Middle Jurassic clastic rocks (sandstones, mudstone); studied thin sections (N and O) are located in the CH-2 thrust sheet

Environment/lithology: basinal (siliceous); red chert

• absence of carbonate rocks suggests that the primary depositional site was deeper than CCD, and beyond the reach of terrigenous clastic material

Size class: microfossils
