Description

<p>An accretionary complex of unknown age is distributed in the southeastern Okayama Prefecture, but because it is broadly covered and intruded by Cretaceous igneous rocks it rarely crops out; insufficient data are available to establish a depositional age and any correlation with the surrounding accretionary complex. In this study, U-Pb analyses of detrital zircons from sandstone in the accretionary complex were used to constrain depositional age, resulting in a youngest single grain 238U-206Pb age of 181.7±7.4 Ma and youngest cluster of weighted mean ages of 188.9-185.7 Ma. The detrital zircon U-Pb ages of the sandstone show that the depositional age of the accretionary complex is post Early Jurassic (Pliensbachian age).</p>
