Description

“Takashikozo” is a kind of iron-oxide, which occurs as cylindrical aggregates from a few mm to cm in diameter and which is commonly found in unconsolidated clayey to silty Quaternary sediments. Last several decades, the geology of the occurrence was described and recorded as a ‘Natural Monument’ due to its spectacular characteristics and structural interest. However, the iron oxide-forming process is little known. Results of a detailed structural and geochemical characterization reveal that ‘Takashikozo’ has been formed by a Fe redox reaction. Presumably certain microbial activity contributes to the formation of the iron oxide’s zonal structure and preferential accumulation of certain elements, that may not be interpreted by a simple elemental diffusion process.
