Abstract
蒲原地域の上部新第三系および第四系にもっとも典型的に認められる第4オーダー堆積シーケンスは, ファンデルタ, 後退上方積層型ならびに前進埋積型の3タイプの堆積モデルに分類される。各タイプの第4オーダー堆積シーケンスは, 第3オーダー相対海水準低下〜低位安定期, 上昇期および高位安定期にそれぞれ形成される。蒲原地域のこのようなシーケンス層序学的枠組みは, 相対海水準サイクルの階層性によって特徴づけられる。この相対海水準サイクルの階層性は, 蒲原地域だけでなく, 新潟堆積盆地や北部フォッサマグナ地域の埋積過程を検討する上で重要な意味をもつであろう。
4th-order depositional sequences, observed typically within Upper Neogene and Quaternary succession in Kanbara area, are classified into three types; "fan-delta", "retrogradational and aggradational" and "progradational". These three types of 4th-order depositional sequence could be formed respectively in falling or low-stand stable phase, rising phase and highstand stable phase of 3rd-order relative sea-level cycle. Such a sequence stratigraphic framework would be characterized by hierarchy in relative sea-level cycles. The hierarchy in relative sea-level cycles might have significance for study of depositional history not only in Kanbara area but also in the Niigata sedimentary basin or Northern Fossa Magna region.
