| Research Abstract |
The authors investigated especially the radiolarian biostratigraphy of the Hakobuchi Group of Nakatonbetsu region in the northern Hokkaido. As a result, two radiolarian zonations of the latest Cretaceous System - Protoxiphotractus perplexus zone (early - middle Campanian) and Chlathrocyclas gravis zone (late Campanian - early Maastrichtian) were established. The former zone corresponds to Amphipyndax enesseffi zone and the latter corresponds to Amphipyndax tylotus zone of the Upper Cretaceous in the Tropical Pacific Oceans and the southwestern Japan. The fanual difference between the Hakobuchi Group and the Hidaka Supergroup was distinguished. Namely, amphipyndax enesseffi and A. tylotus assemblage were found in the Hidaka Supergroup, but these assemblages were completely absent in the Hakobuchi Group. Faunal difference among the Hakobuchi Group, Hidaka Supergroup, and the Upper Cretaceous Systems in the southwestern Japan suggests differences of paleogeography and accumulation sites of sediments9 Abrupt decline of late Cretaceous radiolarians was detected in the Hakobuchi Group, but some genera of Cretaceous type persist into the early Paleocene epoch.
