Abstract
銚子の上部ペルム系愛宕山層(高神礫岩)から報告されている10属15種のフズリナ類について分類学的再検討を行い,南部北上帯(南部北上山地)と黒瀬川帯(九州)のペルム紀フズリナ類と比較した.その結果,銚子フォーナは,種属構成において黒瀬川帯のものにより近似するが,両者のおおよそ中間的な性格を持つフォーナであることが判明した.このことは,南部北上帯と黒瀬川帯が構造的に一連の帯であることを示唆する.銚子地域のペルム系愛宕山層とその上に不整合で重なる可能性の高い白亜系銚子層群は関東山地の黒瀬川帯に属し,南部北上帯-黒瀬川帯のほぼ中間に位置する地質体であると考えられる.
A Permian fusulinoidean fauna, described from the Takagami Conglomerate of the Atagoyama Formation in the Choshi area, central Japan and consisting of 15 species in 10 genera, is taxonomically restudied and compared with those of the South Kitakami Belt (South Kitakami Mountains) and the Kurosegawa Belt (central Kyushu). Consequently the Choshi fauna resembles the Permian fusulinoidean faunas from both the South Kitakami and Kurosegawa Belts, although it is closer to the latter than the former. This result suggests a tectonic continuity between the South Kitakami Belt and the Kurosegawa Belt. The Upper Permian Atagoyama Formation and the unconformably overlying Lower Cretaceous Choshi Group in the Choshi area belong to the Kurosegawa Belt in the Kanto Mountains, and they are located at about the middle of the continuous South Kitakami-Kurosegawa Belt.
