- On the Shikotsu Pumice-fall Deposit : Special Reference to the Activity just before the Depression of the Shikotsu Caldera
抄録
A number of pyroclastic deposits of the late Pleistocene to Recent are widely developed around the Shikotsu caldera, southwestern Hokkaido (Table 1, Photo. 1 & Figs. 1~4). A detailed volcano-stratigraphical studies on these pyroclastic deposits showed that the Shikotsu volcano began the eruption of mafic scoria followed by repeated ejections of intermediate to felsic pumice; then, after a short period of quiescence, a rhyolitic pumice-fall (Spfa 1) followed close by a tremendous amount of dacitic pumice-flow (Spfl) were erupted. The last violent activity caused a depression of the Shikotsu caldera (Krakatoan type of H. WILLIAMS) which measured 13 × 15km in diameter. After the depression, the alluvial volcanoes of Fuppushi, Eniwa and Tarumai were formed along the fissure which trends N 30°W across the caldera. The Shikotsu pumice-fall deposit (Spfa 1) was distributed in a fan-shaped area widening out southeastward from the caldera, decreasing in thickness as well as in grain size with the increase of distance from the source; it is actually traceable beyond the Hidaka mountain range more than 200km from the caldera (Fig. 3). The volume of the deposit is calculated as 2.5 × 1010m3 which is nearly comparable with that of the great eruption of Krakatau in 1883. Adding to this, the volume of the Shikotsu pumice-flow deposit (Spfl, 6~9 × 1010m3), the total volume of the pumiceous deposits erupted just before the depression of the caldera, amounted to as much as 1 × 1111m3 (Table 5). The thermal energy released in this activity is estimated as 1 × 1027ergs. However, the actual volume of liquid magma discharged by this eruption was considerably less than that of the vanished material. The Shikotsu pumice-fall deposit is covered by stream terrace deposits at some places and cut by neolithic beach line; it covers the Mammonteus bed correlated with the lower terrace deposit at Cape Erimo, and embeds a fossil forest composed of a number of erect truncks of Picea jezoensis at a level only a few meters above sea level in the Sapporo-Tomakomai low-land. According to the evidence supplied by these observations, the pumice-fall must have been deposited in the later Wurm ice age. Consequently, the Shikotsu pumice-fall deposit as well as the pumice-flow deposit rise in importance in Pleistocene chronology.
