Basal conglomerate (basal conglomerate)

Japanese: 基底レキ岩(基底礫岩) - きていれきがん(英語表記)basal conglomerate
Basal conglomerate (basal conglomerate)
Conglomerates found directly above unconformities represent the initial sedimentary phase of a series of strata, i.e., when marine regression ends and transgression begins. Generally, as is evident from the unconformity, hard, rounded pebbles that have been well sorted by the influence of waves and currents near the coast are distributed over a wide area. The opposing term, intraformational conglomerate, is easily distinguished by the inclusion of subangular gravel derived from nearby co-sedimentary layers.

Japanese:
不整合の直上にみられるレキ岩で,一連の単位の地層の初期,つまり海退が終わり海進が始まる初期の堆積相を示すものである。一般的には,不整合に伴うことから明らかなように,海岸近くの波や流れの影響を受けてよく淘汰された,硬くて丸い礫が広域にわたり分布する。対立する言葉に層間レキ岩intraformational conglomerate(層内レキ岩ともいう)があるが,それは付近に分布する同時堆積層に由来する亜角礫を含むことにより容易に区別される。
