Major and trace element analyses of Cretaceous to Miocene sedimentary rocks from the Shimanto terrane, Kii Peninsula, SW Japan
内容記述(抄録等)
The Cretaceous-Miocene Shimanto temne of southern Japan is well-known geologically,but comparatively few geochemical studies have been made and comprehensive whole-rock data are scarce.This report contains whole-rock XRF analyses of 100 sandstones and mudstones spanning the stratigraphic range of the Shimanto sequence in Kii Peninsula,Wakayama Prefecture.Data include major elements and 19 trace elements(As,Ba,Ce,Cr,Cu,Ga,La,Nb,Ni,Pb,Rb,Sc,Sr,Th,U,V,Y,Zn and Zr).Seven analyses of post-Shimanto sediments(Tanabe and Kumano Groups)are also included.Interpretation of the data in terms of provenance and evolution of the terrane will be published elsewhere.
