On the Omine Overthrust-sheet and the Nakaoku Bed in the Central Part of Kii Peninsula

Abstract

Probable younger date of the southward overthrust of the Palaeozoic Chichibu rocks upon the Mesozoic Hidaka than the Eocene Nakaoku Bed is an interpretation of the writer for various geological accounts given by I. Shiida in his work “Stratigraphical and Geotectonical Studies of the Paleozoic Chichibu and Mesozoic Hidaka Terrains in the Central Part of Kii Mountainland Southern Kinki, Japan”, 1961, with special reference to the Omine lobe of the overthrust-sheet.
