Limestone from the Early Carboniferous to the Middle Permian Period found near Akiyoshi-dai in Yamaguchi Prefecture. It is a reef limestone containing many fossils such as corals, fusulinids, crinoids, and bryozoans. Nearly half of the strata are inverted, and the same strata overlap several times, suggesting the existence of a large-scale thrust fault and the associated recumbent folds. The Akiyoshi Limestone was deposited on a seamount, and is thought to form an accretionary complex with the surrounding terrigenous clastics.

山口県秋吉台付近に分布する古生代石炭紀前期からペルム紀(二畳紀)中期の石灰岩。サンゴ、紡錘虫(ぼうすいちゅう)、ウミユリ、コケムシなどの化石を多く含む礁性石灰岩である。その分布の半分近くの地層が逆転していること、同じ地層が数回繰り返して重なっていることから、大規模な衝上断層と、それに伴ってつくられた横臥褶曲(おうがしゅうきょく)が推定されている。秋吉石灰岩は海山の上に堆積(たいせき)したもので、周辺の陸源砕屑(さいせつ)物とともに付加体を形成していると考えられている。 [吉田鎮男・村田明広] [参照項目] | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
