TyPe locality : The present formation crops out along the river‑side of the Nakatu‑gawa near the gorge of the Nakatu‑ky6, Hanbara, Aikawa・mati.
Lithic character : It consists largely of various kinds of accidental pyro‑
clastic rocks intercalated with marine sediments.
Compared with the other formations, the present formation is marked by the exceedingly variable lithofacies. The lateral and vertical transitions of the accidental pyroclastic rock into the marine sediment, especially the conglomerate, are found in various horizons of this formation, highly indicating
that the regressive conditions were relatively prevailing during the period of the deposition of the present formation.
Again, the rocks making up the present formation are commonly calcareous in composition, some of which contain abundant marine fossils. The fact is another feature uncommon in the other formations developing in the present reglOn.
GeograPhical distribution : This formation distributes widely, occupying the eastern margin of the present region
(Fig. 1).
The general trend of this formation roughly coincides with that of the preceding, although a gentle fold having an axis of N‑S direction is found
92 K. MIKAA(I
in the southern extension.
The. present
Lformation is in fault contact with the Kobotoke series at a dislocation line named the T6noki‑Aikawa line at the eastern limit of the distribution, 女hile its northwestern and southeastern extensions are separated from the Tanzawa group by the Aonohara‑Susugaya line.
T血e total thickness is estimated to be over 1,loom. in the type locality.
Division : From the lithic character, the present formati()n can be sub・
divided into fotlr members, as described below (Table
1),
and their straigraphic relations are always gradational.NakatukyるVolcanic・breccia
TyPe locality : This member is typically developed on the Nakatu‑ky6 hiking path, west of the Isi‑goya, Hanbara, Aikawa・mati.
Liihic character : It consists largely of a thick layer of massive volcanic breccia and lapilli・tuffwith an occasional intercalation offine‑tuft and coarse‑
tuff. The volcanic breccia and the lapilli‑tuff contain abundant blocks or
lapillis of various kinds of augite‑andesites and ‑basalts in their common matrix of coar∂sイuff, and the transition between the two is gradual. The 血e‑tuffand the coarse‑tuffare mostly of andesitic to basaltic composition, occurring as a thin layer, several meters in thickness. Hydrotbermal actions
glVe a Strong effect on all of these rocks; most of the
ejecta
are convertedinto green, uprplisb, or reddish rocks, while the matrix is commonly chloritized and/or epidotitized.
Distribution : This member occupying the basalpart of the present for‑
mation is distributed in a lenticular area
ranging
from the vicinity of Naka・kaido, Tukui・mati, to the upper course of the T・valley. Besides the type locality, it is separably observed in the western part of Mt. Nan‑zan, and also in the upper course of the U‑valley, the north of Mt. Bukka‑sam. The southern limit of the distribution is in the upper course of the T‑valley, where it passes into an alternation of coarse‑tuffand
lapilli‑tuffbelonglng
tOthe Nakatuky6 tuft member.
In the river‑bed of the Kusi‑kawa near Nakakaido, Tukui・mati, there is
a small exposure of volcanic breccia litbologically identical with the above volcanic breccia, probably representing the northern limit of this member・
The general trend of this member is NE‑SW, and its dip declines inter・
皿ediately to the northeast・ This member is intruded by a few dykes of andesite in the type locality. T・he thickness,is estimated to be 600m・ in the type.

Pass,
Atugi‑si,
and the latter in the vicinity pf ltid6, the same city・Lithic character : The Zyunreit6ge conglomerate and sandstone member consists largely of conglomerate ・ and t・uffaceous sandstone. The conglomerate is composed lorgely of welトrounded pebbles, such as quartzite, greywacke, clayslate and chert, all derived from the Palaeozoic system・ With these pebbles are also intermingled a few gravels of green tuft derived from.the
strata lying conformably under the present members・ The tuffaceous sand‑
stone is rather subordinate, being intercalated between the strata of con‑
glomerate as a thin layer.
Blackish green mudstone is the most predominant rock type of・ the ltid6 mudstone and sandstone, associated with yellowish coloured, tuffaceous sand‑
stone in various proportions and in different horizons.
Disiribution : The above two members occupying approximately the same
・borizon as the NakatukyeI VOIcanic‑breccia ‑member locally distribute in the southern extension of the present formation, and the stratlgraphic relation
between the two is always gradational, both horizontally and vertically.
Greenish black coloured, tuffaceous mudstone with slightfissility is develop‑
ed in the western tributaries of the Koai‑gawa, northeast and east of Mt.
Haku‑san, probably representing the northern extension of the ltid6 mudstone and sandstone.
The absence of proper exposures makes it impossible to know the detailed structure of these two members,‑the structure which, however, is considered̲
to show a synclinal fold baying an axis of N‑S trend.
In each type locality, the present two members are estimated to be 270
m. and Boom. in thickness, respectively.

(Fig.1)
Bowing northe'astward from the Hanbara‑goe, Susugaya, Kiyokawa‑mura.Lithic character: In the type locality, the present member is composed mainly of various kinds of pyroclastic rocks intercalated with tuffaceous sand‑
stone. Most of the pyroclastics are commonly of accidental orlgln, COnSisting of gravels of sandstone, mudstone and quartzite in addition to somewhat variegated
ejecta
of andesite and basalt. They are associated with dacitic coarse‑tuffor lapilli‑tuffof the mixed type, grading into a true conglomerate, in different localities and horizons.Tbe subangular breccias of hornblende‑quartz‑diorite and hornblende‑diorite, about 5cm. and 3cm. across, respectively, are occasionally found in the lapiui・tuff of the lower horizons. The former must have been directly torn o庁from the quartz‑diorite of the Tanzawa massif, and the latter seems to be derivatives from some intrusive mass occurring in intimate relations to the above quartz‑diorite.
Disiribution : The present member constitutes the bulk of the Nakatsu‑
ky6 formation, and widely distributes occupylng the eastern margln Of the present reg10n. The essential exposures are as follows, from 'northwest to southeast :
(1)
the river‑side of the D6si‑gawa from Sindo, Tukui‑mati to the northeast of Abiko in the same town,(2)
the river‑side of the E.usi‑kawa from Nakakaido, Tukui‑mati, to Sakurano in the same town,(3)
the river‑bed of the UIValley(Fig. 1)
from Kasihara, Aikawa‑mati, to the northeast of Mt.Bukka‑sam,
(4)
the river‑bed of the T‑valley(Fig. 1)
from the Hanbara‑goe, Susugaya, to Tasiro, Aikawa‑mati,(5)
along、 the mountain path leading to Mt.Ey6gatake from Rokku, Aikawa‑mati,
(6)
along the mountain path leading to Mt. Ky6gatake from Y6no,Atugi‑si, (7)
the river‑bed of the Yude‑gawa from Funazawa to Hasiba, Atugi‑si, and (8)the river‑bed of the small valley且owing eastward from Mt. Takatori・yama. Several representative lithofacies of this member are shown in Fig. 3(Section
Nos.84‑94).
In the above localities, conglomerate is commonly found as a small lens in various horizons of this member, especially ln its upper ones, and it in‑
creases gradually northwestwards until it becomes thickest in the northwestern
area. It is constituted exclusively of well rounded, pebble‑ to cobble‑ sized
gravels originating from the Palaeozoic system. Another kind of conglomerate is observed ‑in a small tributary of the D6si‑gawa directly east of Mt. Sankaku・
yama, Tukui‑mati, where itoccurs as a belt, about 1 km. in width, elongated from north to south
(Fig. 1).
This rock, consisting mainly of derivatives from both the underlying strata and the Palaeozoic system, shows strongGeologlCal and Petrograpbical Studies on the Tanzawa Mountainland, Part I 95
a氏nity to that of the Otiai formation, and it seems, therefore, to retain the transitional nature of the said formation into the Sekir6zan conglomerate and sandstone.
Besides the type locality, the gravels of the quartz ‑diorite and its related rocks are found in the following places :
(1)
the river‑bed of the D6si‑gawa, north of Maedo, Tukui‑mati,(2)
a small tributary of the Kusi‑kawa, 300m.northwest of Mt・ Minami‑yama, Kiyokawa‑mura, and
(3)
the river‑bed of the tJ‑valley(Fig・
1) 400m. west of Kasihara, Aikawa‑mati. The r.cks c.ntain̲1ng these gravels are commonly lapilli‑tuft of accidental orlgln, approximately occupylng the same horizon.
The general trend of the present member roughly coincides with that of the Nakatuky6 formation・ The total thickness i? about 500m. at the type locality.
Fossils : As already pointed out, most of the rocks making up the present member are very calcareous, yielding abundant marine fossils as listed below.
Chlamys kaneharai (Yok・), one of these fossils, is usually found in thin layers of accidental lapilli‑tuft or coarse‑tuff, and these layers approximate to ten sheets in di鮎rent borizons, some of which can be traced・ Calcareous algae, in many
cases, occurs as a colony 2cm. across, which seems to be in close connection
with the above molluscan fossil.

TyPe locality : This member is well developed along the river‑course of the D6si‑gawa southwest of the reservoir of Aoyama, Tukui‑mati,
althoughit
thickens beyond the northeastern limit of the geological map, Fig. 1.
Lithic character : The most predominant rock type of this member is coarse‑
to medium‑grained conglomerate, associated with dark green to black sand‑
stone and shale.
The conglomerate is lithologically identical with the conglomerate found:・
in the present formation as a small lens, as already mentioned. The
pebbles are exclusively derivations from the Palaeozoic system, and the matrix is of basic pすroclastic materials. The sandstone and shale are well‑bedded and intercalated in the conglomerate in various proportions and in different horizons.
Disiribuiion : This member extends from the southwest of Seki, Tukui‑
mati, to the vicinity of Mt. Sekir6‑lan, Sagamiko‑mati, and further beyond
Geological and Petrograpbical Studies on the Tanzawa Mountainland, Part I 97
tbe、 northern limit of the napped area. It also is in the western area of Hanbara, Aikawa‑mati, Shokk6‑no‑taki, Tasiro, in the same town. The localities is shown in the columnar seccions Nos.
intermittently distributed and in the vicinity of the lithofacies of the essential 84, 85 and 90 (Fig. 3).
In the east and the southeast, the present member is bounded by the T6noki‑Aikawa line, while, in the northeast, it is in fault contact ‑with an
alternation of andesitic coarse‑tuffand lapilli‑tuffbelonging to the Nakatuky6 tuff. This fault is observed in a small valley immediately west of the reservoir, where it strikes N40oW, and dips nearly vertically.
This member attains to 500m. or more in thickness in the type locality。
Fossils : A lfew gastropoda‑fragments are enclosed in conglomerate of
a dale in Aoyama, Tukui‑mati (Loc. 77).
Geologic Age and Correlation
The fossils collected by the writer from the present region are shown in Tables 2 and 3.
It is evident from these fossils that both the Tanzawa and the Aikawa groups are largely of marine doposit.
Following the writer's discovery of LePidocyclina
(NephrolePidina)
inthe Otiai formation of the Susugaya subgroup (K. MIKAMI,
1955a),
H. SHIBATA (1957) reported a new occurrence of the same fossil in a dacitic tuffexposed in the river‑side of the Hayado‑gawa, the geological horizon of which definitely corresponds to the northern extension of the Fud6ziri dacite‑tuff member of the6sawa
formation of the same subgroup. Accordingly, the Susugaya subgroup is the lower Miocene(Fl)
in age, and is correlated with the Onuma group of the Misaka massif in that it occupleS the upper part of the Tanzawa group, associates with dacitic, pyroclastic rocks, and also contains LePidocyclina and Chlamyskaneha;ai (YoK.).
As already stated (K. MIEAMI/
1955a),
the LePidocyclina limestones re‑ported by S. HANZAWA
(1931)
from the present mountainland seem to belong to the lower horizon, probably the Hondani‑gawa formation, of the Oyama subgroup・ Thus the presence of three LePidocyclina‑bearing strata is Con‑firmed in different stratigraphic horizons of the Tanzawa group, and the difference between the upper and the lower limits of these horizons exceeds 6000 m. in thickness. As already discussed by several authors
(S.
HANZIAWA,1943, N. IEBTBE, 1948, and J.MAKIYAMA,
1947),
if LePidocyclina (NePhrolepidina) is slgni丘cant as an index fossil of the lower Miocene age, we may wonder bow the materials composing the Oyama and Susugaya subgroups have been98 K. MIEAMI

accumulated so thickly during that age. There is an exceptional reason, however, that these materials are exclusively products of gross volcanisms having taken place in a geosynclinal environment and are petrographically
very similar to each other. The age of the Oyama subgroup, therefore is also thought to be the lower Miocene
(Fl).
In addition, a quite similar example has been found by K. WATANABE, J.
ARAI, S. KANNO, and others
(1956, ‑57)
in the Tertiary system of the Chichibu basin. According to their results, LePidocyclina(NePhrolePidina)
occurs inthe upper‑middle horizon of the Akahira group besides the Cbichibumachi 宮rOup, and the difference between the two attains to about 4,000m. in thick‑
ness. This fact seems very favorable for the writer's consideration of the
above problem.
Judging from the stratigrapbic position and litbological characters, the Aikawa group can be correlated with the Nishikatsura group. K. WATANABE
(1954)
pointed out that OPerculina comPlanatajaponica
HANZAWA in the Furuya formation of the lower part of the same group is characteristic of his Matu・yamian stage. These facts seem to indicate that the Aikawa group IS Of the middle Miocene age.
The age of the T6gatake subgroup is uncertain because of the absence of
palaeontological
evidence. But the facts that this subgroup of morethickness than 3,500m. lies under the Susugaya‑Oyama subgroup of which total thickness exceeds 6,000 mリand that the stratigraphic relations between the two is very similar to those of the Chichibumachi and the Akahira 貰roups in the Chichibu basin, will probably lead to
Lthe corlClusion that at least a part of the T6gatake subgroup is of the Oligo‑Mioαne age
(E).

A. Structtlre Of the Present Region
Tbe Tanzawa and Aikawa groups in the present region as investigated by the writer are of comparatively simple monoclinal structure with a gentle
≡
anticline with an axis pitching eastwards and increasing the deviation westwards, as shown in the geological map
(Fig. 1).
This structure is best interpreted as the southeastern representative of the dome‑shaped structure・surrounding the.quartz‑diorite mass.
As already stated, a great many faults are actually observed throughout the whole region. To bring out the degree and pattern of preferred orientation of these faults, the trend of 900 representative faults was determined by measuring the strike and the dip of each fault, which was then plotted by regional groups upon an equaトarea
projection
by means of a Scbmidt net(Fig. 5).
From theseprojections
it is clear that the faults occurring in the present reglOn are COmmOnly characterized by the predominance of the NE‑SW trend, although their dips vary in places.
The faults, moreover, are most abundant in the distribution area of the T6gatake and Oyama subgroups, and most of them occur in the southwestern
area of this region where the above two subgroups are strongly deviated by these faults, suggesting that they have been formed in close connection with both the crustal movement during the severe volcanisms represented by the Tanzawa group and the intrusion of the quartz‑diorite, as mentioned later.
The amount of the displacement causred by these faults appears to be
insigni丘cant, but some marked exceptions are described below:
Tbnoki‑Aikau)a line : A prominent reverse fault which separates the Aikawa group from the Kobotoke series is found along the eastern margln of the present reglOn. This fault represents the southeastern extension of the T6noki‑Aikawa line, now under consideration, which was first designated
as the " T6noki‑Funazawa Line by H. FuJI班OTO
(1941),
and is probably oneof the most important tectonic lines that bound the major geologic units in
・tbe southern Fossa Magma:
It can be traced from Nenzaka, Sagamiko‑mati outside the map, south‑
eastwards to Tasiro, Aikawa‑mati, and its essential exposures have been reported in the previous paper
(R.
SEINOKI and K. MIEAMI,1954),
As already outlined, the Aika.wa group is the middle Miocene in age. In the east‑side of the distribution area of the Kobotoke series, on the other hand, the Pliocene Nakatsu series lies unconformably on the said group without any
trace of disturbance. From these facts, the present fault seems to have
もeen formed during the late Miocene, probably at the end when the crustal
