| Research Abstract |
The geological belt of the Chrystalls beach belongs to the Caples belt, which is thought to be an accretionary body and weak metamorphic belt of pumpellyite-actionolite zone(south) to biotite zone (north). This belt consists of alternation of turbiditic sandstone and mudstone, and pelagic-hemipelagic sediments of basic pillow lava, chert and acidic tuff(?). The Jurassic age is indicated by radiolarian fossils. The belt is characterized by five stages of deformation. We recognized that degrees of deformation become intensive to the north gradually. There is no discontinuity of deformation style between the Caples and Haast schist belt. On the other hand, the mysterious "Permian" of the Torlesse belt in the Akatarawa area was studied to elucidate the tectonostratigraphic characteristics of the Torlesse rocks
The microfossil(radiolarian) specimens came from the melange in this area and phosphatic nodules in the Chrystalls Beach area are new important data to discuss the ages and the tectono-stratigraphic origin of these formations. As a result, sedimentary environments of various formations in the Akatarawa area can be interpreted as the forearc accretionary complex with contemporaneous shelf basins.
