A Periglacial Phenomenon of Oshima Peninsula, Hokkaido

Abstract

A periglacial phenomenon was found on the Oshamanbe Terrace Deposit at the northern part of the western coast of Funka Bay, Oshima Peninsula, Hokkaido.
Fig. 2 and 3 show the Taschenboden which is observed between volcanic ash and sand layers.
This Taschenboden seems to have been formed in the Wurm Age due to the correlation of 40-60 m terrace with the terrace at the same level in Japan.
