日本手取群研究的新进展

介绍日本中生代晚期手取群研究的最新进展,并简要评述与中国的对比。手取群从下到上分为九头龙亚群、石白亚群、赤岩亚群。庄川地区九头龙亚群御手洗组新发现菊石,属Tithonian-Berriasian期,改变了以往Callovian期的传统意见。石白亚群发现菊石,属Late Hauterivian-Early Barremian期;亚群上部发现海相双壳类,属Hauterivian期,半咸水相和淡水双壳类也与外带Hauterivian期的对比;绝对年龄测定为135±7Ma和128±8Ma,分别属Hauterivian早期和Barremian早期,其中135Ma被普遍接受;植物群反映的古气候特征与俄罗斯东部Valanginian-Hauterivian期温湿化一致。石白亚群的时代综合为Valanginian-Hauterivian期。赤岩亚群的Trigonioides(Wakinoa)tetoriensis也发现于外带,时代属latest Hauterivian-Early Barremian期;绝对年龄测定数据不稳定,自127±8Ma(Barremian中期)至106±7Ma(Albian中期)。对亚群的Nippononaia ryosekiana作了修订,认为应属N.linhaiensis,与浙江馆头组的同种,比濑林组(Lower Aptian)的N.ryosekiana原始,故时代早于Aptian期。赤岩亚群的时代综合为Barremian期,但不排除上延的可能。区域对比结果认为,中国东北龙爪沟群及绥滨地区的相当地层可与九头龙亚群和石白亚群对比;馆头组、下城子组可与赤岩亚群对比;热河群上部沙海组-阜新组煤系地层可与石白亚群对比;并对义县组的时代提出了看法。

NEW ADVANCE IN RESEARCHING ON THE TETORI GROUP OF JAPAN

The Late Mesozoic Tetori Group, distributed in central Japan, is made up of the Kuzuryu, Itoshiro and Akaiwa Subgroups in ascending order. During recent years the studies on the group have made considerable headway with important discoveries in biostratigraphy. The discoveries are of significance in correlation between Japan and China, therefore, introduced as follows.
