西九州,秩父累帯ペルム系の砂岩中の砕屑性ザクロ石  [in Japanese] Detrital garnet in sandstone from the Permian strata of the Chichibu Terrane in western Kyushu, Southwest Japan  [in Japanese]

Abstract

西九州と四国中部に分布するペルム系砂岩中の砕屑性ザクロ石の化学組成をEPMAで測定した結果, ペルム紀の整然相を地層である球磨層, 小崎層, 水越層および市ノ瀬層砂岩中のザクロ石は, Ca-richザクロ石(グロッシュラー+アンドラダイト成分が90モル%以上)が圧倒的多数を占めていること, また, 同時期のメラーンジュ相を示す深山層と鴨猪川層砂岩中のザクロ石は, アルマンディンで特徴づけられることが判明した。Ca-richザクロ石は不純な石灰質堆積岩起源の変成岩(スカルンも含めて), あるいは蛇紋岩などの超塩基性岩に伴うロディンガイトに普遍的に産する。ペルム紀の陸源砕屑岩層は, 黒瀬川古期岩類からその堆積物が供給されたと考えられているが, 現在露出している限りではCa-richザクロ石をもたらすような岩石は存在しない。ペルム紀の黒瀬川地帯には, 黒瀬川古期岩類の浅部相しか削剥レベルに達しておらず, シルル紀の石灰岩の, シルル-デボン紀の花崗岩の貫入によるスカルンが, ペルム系の後背地に広く露出していた可能性を指摘した。

Detrital garnet in sandstone from the Permian strata in the western part of Kyushu and the central part of Shikoku, Southwest Japan, are studied from a petrological viewpoint. EPMA analysis of detrital garnets (a total of 612 grains) reveals the following; (1) There are significant differences in chemical composition between the detrital garnets of the sandstones from the KumaandKozaki Formations (well-organized stratigraphic units which consists of clastic sediments) and those from the Miyama and Kamoshishigawa Formations (chaotic melange units). The former are characterized by grandite, where as the latter are characterized by almandine. (2) Detrital garnets in sandstones of the Mizukoshi Formation and the Ichinose Formation are chemically similar to those in sandstones of the Kuma and Kozaki Formations. Judging from the chemical composition of detrital garnets and the constitution of the conglomerates, the source area of the clastics of the Kuma, Kozaki, Mizukoshi and Ichinose Formations consisted chiefly of granitic rocks, acidic volcanic rocks, metamorphosed calcareous rocks, and metamorphic rocks of greenschist to amphibolite facies.
