説明

<p>The metamorphic complex from the Mt. Tenzan area in northern Kyushu consists mainly of mafic rocks with small amounts of siliceous, calc–silicate, and ultramafic rocks. These lithofacies can be recognized as an ophiolitic complex. Metamorphosed mafic rocks are divided into two types, amphibolites I and II, which are probably derived from supracrustal and intrusive rocks, respectively. The geochemical data of both amphibolites plotted within the field between mid–ocean ridge and island arc basalts; such geochemical features resemble those of back–arc basin basalts. As the metamorphic complex was intruded by Cretaceous granitoids, protoliths of the complex could have been formed prior to the Cretaceous. The protolith lithofacies assemblage and geochemical constraints of the Tenzan metamorphic complex indicate the correlation with the Yakuno ophiolite rather than the Oeyama ophiolite.</p>
