Permian oceanic-rocks of Mino terrane, central Japan. Part III. Limestone-breccia facies

Abstract

Reports the depositional environment of the Amanokawara Formation with limestone-breccia facies, one of the Permian oceanic-rock units of the Funabuseyama mass in the Mino terrane. The carbonates are interpreted as deposits of a shallow-marine carbonate buildup with a lagoonal flat, sand bars and shoals, marginal terrace, and foreslope on a basaltic mound in an open-ocean realm. -from Author
