Abstract

Volcanic history of Aira caldera was discussed by K-Ar dating of volcanic rocks from western Yoshino-dai area, Aoshiki basalt at northwestern Kamo area and those from Sakurajima volcano. The result implies that the caldera wall at Yoshino-dai area formed at least after 0.35 Ma. The K-Ar age of 0.08 Ma from Aoshiki basalt also implies that the activity of basaltic magmas occurred a few ten thousand years before the Aira pyroclastic eruption. The reanalysis of lava flow from the bottom in the Harutayama onservation well of Sakurajima volcano shows its eruptive age within a ten thousand years, which agrees with the previous result.
