Abstract
舞鶴帯の北東端に分布する上部三畳系難波江層群砂岩(N_2層)中の砕屑性モナザイトおよびジルコンの化学組成をEPMAによって正確に定量し, CHIME法によって両鉱物の年代を求めた。その結果, 大部分のモナザイトの年代(Th-U-total Pbアイソクロン年代)は約400-500 Maであった。一方, ジルコンの年代はモナザイトの年代に比べてバラツキが大きく, 約250-1100 Maであった。砂岩の鉱物組成ならびに砕屑性モナザイトおよびジルコンの年代から推定して, 難波江層群砂岩の後背地の一部には舞鶴帯の夜久野岩類に対比される岩石が存在していたと考えられる。
Precise electron microprobe analyses have been made on detrital monazites and zircons from the Upper Triassic Nabae Group in the Maizuru terrane. The Th-U-total Pb isochron ages of many monazite grains range from ca. 400 to 500 Ma; whereas those of zircons show a wide age range from ca. 250 Ma to as old as ca. 1100 Ma. Judging from the monazite and zircon age data as well as the mineral composition and texture of sandstones, the provenance area for the Triassic Nabae Group was dominated by granitoids and gneisses, together with ultramafic rocks. Presumably these rocks, at least in part, can be correlated with the present-day Yakuno complex in the Maizuru terrane.
