Abstract
<p>Abstract Detrital zircons (sand grains made up of the mineral zircon) from Paleo–Mesozoic sandstones of Japan are useful in the provenance analysis as well as in constraining the age of deposition. In this short talk, I will introduce some of my works on the evolution of the Japanese Islands, using the detrital-zircon-age data. As an example, I will talk about the Carboniferous–Early Jurassic northward drift of the South Kitakami Paleoland from the eastern margin of the Gondwana continent to the eastern part of the Pangea or Laurasia continent. I will further discuss the Cretaceous rearrangement of geologic bodies in the East Asian continental margin.</p>
