There are many different rocks in the world, but in 1872 Vogelsang suggested that igneous rocks in a certain region, even though they are different types, have a common texture and mineral composition, and can be distinguished from igneous rocks in other regions. This phenomenon is universal, and igneous rocks produced in a certain igneous period in a certain region have common properties, so Judd first proposed the name of a petrological province for such regions in 1886, and stated that within a distinct petrological province, rocks erupted during a certain geological period have a distinct mineralogical composition and microscopic structure. This is useful for distinguishing rocks belonging to the same group from those erupted at the same time in other petrological regions [Judd: 1886]. In 1911 Harker defined a petrological province as a broad region, more or less clearly defined, in which igneous rocks belonging to a certain igneous period share certain petrological characteristics throughout the transformation of all the rocks [Harker: 1911]. When the rocks contained in a group of igneous rocks of a certain region and of a certain age share common properties throughout and can be distinguished from other groups of igneous rocks, the group is called a petroregion. The idea of common properties here suggests that there may be a genetic consanguinity between them. In recent years, the term has been used to describe rocks within a geographical area that belong to the same igneous period. These rocks are characterized by unique chemical and mineralogical compositions, structures, and textures. This allows them to be easily distinguished from igneous rocks from other igneous provinces and periods. A province is an area of geology that is assumed to have been in a similar geological environment for a certain period of time, and each province is defined by both the area and the geological period in which igneous rocks that are thought to have originated from the same magma have been intruded or erupted. Provinces vary in extent and duration, and their boundaries are widely vague and variable [Judd: 1886, Harker: 1911, Stark: 1914, Turner & Verhoogen: 1951, Tomkeieff: 1983, Katayama et al.: 1970].

世界中には様々な岩石が産出しているが,1872年にフォーゲルザングは,ある地方の火成岩類は,それぞれに異なる岩型であっても共通の組織や鉱物組成をもち,それらを他の地方の火成岩類から区別することができると考えた.この現象は普遍的なもので,一地域で特定の火成活動期に生成された火成岩類は共通の性質を持っているので,このような地域にジャドが1886年に最初に岩石区の名称を提案し,明瞭な岩石区の中では,特定の地質学的な時代に噴出した岩石は明瞭な鉱物学的組成および顕微鏡的構造を持っている.これは他の岩石学的な地区で同時期に噴出したものから,同じグループに属する岩石を区別するのに役に立つと述べている[Judd : 1886].ハーカーは1911年に,岩石区とは多少はっきりと限定された広い地域で,この中ではある時代の火成活動に属する火成岩は,すべての岩石の変化を通して特定の岩石学的特徴を共有している,と定義している[Harker : 1911].ある地域の,ある限られた時代の火成岩群に含まれる岩石が,全体を通じて共通した性質を持ち,他の火成岩群と区別できる場合に,この群を岩石区と呼ぶ.ここで共通な性質という考え方は,それらに成因的な血縁関係(consanguinity)があるであろうということを示唆している. 近年はこの語は火成活動の同じ時代に属する地理的な範囲内の岩石の記述に用いられている.このような岩石は独特の化学的組成および鉱物学的組成,構造,組織などによって特徴づけられている.このためこれらの岩石は他の火成岩地域や時期に属する火成岩から容易に区別される.岩石区はある期間にわたって同じ様な地質環境におかれていた地質と推測される地域で,個々の岩石区は成因的に同一マグマに由来したと考えられる火成岩類が貫入または噴出している地域と地質時代の両方で定義される.岩石区の広さや時間の長さは様々で,境界は広い範囲で漠然としており,変化する[Judd : 1886, Harker : 1911, Stark : 1914, Turner & Verhoogen : 1951, Tomkeieff : 1983, 片山ほか : 1970]. 出典 朝倉書店岩石学辞典について 情報 |
