Abstract

The Funabuseyama Limestone, an exotic limestone block in the western part of the Jurassic Mino Terrane, yields various kinds of Permian foraminifers especially fusulines ranging from the Artinskian to Capitanian. Many microphotographs of fusuline and non-fusuline foraminifers are illustrated to reconsider the foraminiferal information of the Funabuseyama faunas and to compare with the coeval faunas in and outside of Japan. Thirty-one species of Middle Permian fusulines are systematically described. Fusuline faunas in the Mino Terrane, characterized by the component of Acervoschwagerina, Parafusulina japonica, and Yabeina, are similar to most of those in other Jurassic terranes of Japan, but different from those of the Permian terranes of Japan where these three taxa are almost absent.
