The CHIME monazite ages of gneiss clasts range from 1809 to 1494 Ma with two data concentrations of 1750-1700 Ma and 1650-1600 Ma (sample Sawa-13), and from 1601 to 1040 Ma with a data concentration of 1300-1200 Ma (sample Sawa- 43). A detrital zircon in the gneiss clast (Sawa-13) gives the oldest CHIME age of 2064 ± 146 Ma. These CHIME ages of the gneiss clasts indicate occurrence of middle Precambrian poly-phase metamorphism (between ca. 1800 and 1000 Ma) and igneous activity (ca. 2050 Ma), and suggest that the Mg-rich garnet-bearing gneisses were formed by the middle Precambrian metamorphism. Detrital garnets, mostly Mg-rich garnet, are commonly observed in the Jurassic sandstone of the Mino terrane. Mg-rich garnet-bearing rocks like the analyzed gneiss clasts are considered as major source rocks of the Jurassic elastics in the Mino terrane. The CHIME ages of the gneiss clasts suggest that a part of the Jurassic terrigenous elastics, for example detrital monazite and Mg-rich garnet in the Mino terrane were derived from the area which is underlain by middle Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks., 国立情報学研究所で電子化したコンテンツを使用している。}, pages = {1--13}, title = {CHIME ages of Mg-rich garnet-bearing gneiss clasts from the Jurassic Sawando conglomerate in the northeastern Mino terrane, central Japan}, volume = {49}, year = {2002} }
