Geography
Country:Japan
Coordinates: 35.4° North, 137.0° East (view map)
Paleocoordinates:17.4° North, 139.8° East (Wright 2013)
Basis of coordinate:estimated from map
Time
Period: Triassic Epoch: Late Triassic
Stage: Carnian 10 m.y. bin: Triassic 3
Key time interval: Carnian Zone:  Capnuchosphaera
Age range of interval: 237 - 227.3 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Local section:NCU15 Local bed:9.75 m
Stratigraphy comments: sample at 9.75m (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
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:green chert
Includes fossils?Y
Environment:basinal (siliceous)
Geology comments: absence of carbonate rocks suggests that the primary depositional site was deeper than CCD, and beyond the reach of terrigenous clastic material
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation:body
Size of fossils:microfossils
Collection methods and comments
Reason for describing collection:biostratigraphic analysis
