| Research Abstract |
Our research group has reconstructed magnetostratigraphy and oxygen isotopic stratigraphy for the Plio-Pleistocene Chikura Group distributed on the southern Boso Peninsula, Japan. The results indicate that, the studied sequence is comparable from the upper Gauss chronozone including the Kaena sub-chronozone to the lower Matuyama chronozone, and the oxygen isotopic curve is correlated between from MIS G16 through 93, which are derived by the LR04 standard curve. We define 15 tephra layers, named as from Okr1 to Okr15, in which 8 layers are identified as key tephra layers widely distributed in central Japan by means of lithologies, mineral asembrages and chemical compositions of glass shards. The Matuyama/Gauss boundary at this studied sequence is situated on MIS 103, not on MIS 104 that is described in the LR04 time scale.
