Stratigraphy
Formation:Daishoji
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: Planktonic foraminifera of the N8 to N9 biozones (17-14.5 Ma; Hilgen et al., 2012; Hoshi et al., 2019) have been reported in the Hosotsubo and Daishoji Formations (Nakagawa & Chiji, 1988), while calcareous nannofossils of CN4 (14.9-13.5 Ma; Okada & Bukry, 1980) were obtained from the Daishoji Formation (Bito et al., 1980). Therefore, the age of the Daishoji Formation is estimated as 14.9-14.5 Ma in this study.
