要 旨

栃木県烏山地域に分布する中新世海成層荒川層群(z:)大金丿削Eと下部に挟在する珪長質凝灰岩(Og1)より抽

出lしたジルコンについてフィッショントラック年代を測定し,11.6±0.4Ma(1,7e,rror)の年代値を得た.

同一試料について測定されたK-AI-年代値(11.8±0.2Ma;Takahshしに/.,1999)とよい一致を示すことか

ら,得られたフィッション年ィ切直はOg1凝灰岩の噴出1年代を示すと判断される.年代決定されたOg1凝

灰岩の1メートル下位に石灰質ナンノ化石の(ヤ/yc7a,・即/fr/に./7り・‘・1/回川の終産出が確認されていることから,得られた年代は,同生層準により規定されるCN5a/CN5b境界(OkadaandBukry,1980)年代を示すと

判断される.
