Stratigraphy
Geological group:Manda
Stratigraphic resolution:bed
Stratigraphy comments: According to Mizuno (1962, 1964), the Manda Group is correlated with the Okinoshiman stage, set chronologically by Ozaki et al. (1991) and Mizuno (1992) in the late Middle Eocene (Bartonian). Lithology places it in the Kattachi Formation (upper part of the Miike Formation of Iguchi, 2016), which belongs to the uppermost CP13c nannofossil zone and lower CP14a, corresponding to the upper Lutetian (Iguchi, 2016). The site represents the lowermost sandstone of the Kattachi Formation (Karasawa, 1992), the "Kattachi fossil zone" of Kikuchi (1963).
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:gray,green lithified sandstone
Lithology description: Dark greyish green sandstone which is fine to medium-grained and quite hard.
Environment:shoreface
Geology comments: Lithology and association with coal suggests very shallow environment.
