Pollen spectra around 20 000 years ago during the last glacial from the Nara Basin, Japan

Abstract

Based on changes in facies, the Pleistocene Yamanobe Formation in the Nara Basin is divided into three members, the Upper Silt, Middle Peat and Lower Sand Members. Six pollen diagrams of the Last Glacial deposits, around the 20 000 yrs ago, from the Yamanobe Formation together with the Nanmatsu Formation, which developed in the eastern part of the Nara Basin, are presented. -from Author
