The stratigraphic classification of the Middle to Upper Pleistocene distributed in Namegata and Kashima uplands of Ibaraki Prefecture was examined. This Pleistocene is divided into four formations. ...These can be correlated with the Yokaichiba Formation, Kozaki Formation, Kamiiwahashi Formation and Kioroshi Formation in ascending order. The geological structure in this area shows westward-dipping monoclinic structure. The contour line of the boundary between the upper and the lower parts of the Yokaichiba Formation bends in the southern part of Namegata Upland. This bending part is reratively a subsiding area. The location of large-scale buried valley, thickness variation and depositional process of the Kamiiwahashi Formation are controlled by this structure.
In 1889, two student conferences on opposite sides of the world captivated a generation. Japanese college students meeting in Kyoto, Japan, sent a telegram to college students meeting in Northfield, ...Massachusetts. The simple message was “Make Jesus King.” By staking a claim to world evangelization, Japanese Christian students signaled the dawning of a new age—one in which young evangelical Asians, Europeans, and Americans could unite worldwide for a common cause.
The excitement of transnational collaboration culminated in the International Students’ Missionary Conference in Liverpool, England, in January 1896. Called “Make Jesus King,” after the inspirational telegram, the conference brought
Newsreader Australia's Islamic leaders have been told they cannot ignore the alters voice to indicate quote vile acts committed in the name of their faith and must do more to denounce extremism. The ...federal parliamentary secretary for immigration and multicultural affairs, Andrew Robb, urged Muslim clerics at a government-sponsored meeting in Sydney to correct terrorist misinterpretation of the Koran.
Sr isotopic ratios and Rb, Sr and REE abundances are determined for granitic clasts from the middle Permian Kozaki Formation in the Kurosegawa Belt, Kumamoto, Southwest Japan, in order to elucidate ...their source and formation. Garnet-biotite granodiorite clasts, uniquely found in the Kozaki Formation, show M-type REE tetrad patterns and wide variation of Rb/Sr ratios, which enable their petrogenesis and age determination. The REE patterns indicate shallow formation of the garnet-bearing granodiorite. The Rb-Sr isotopic data yield an age of 251 ± 46 Ma with an initial ratio of 0.7055 ± 0.0006. The Rb-Sr age is close to the sedimentation age of the Kozaki Formation defined by paleontological data and K-Ar ages of the corresponding granitic clasts in the Permian conglomerate (“Usuginu conglomerate”) of the Kitakami area, Northeast Japan. The initial Sr isotopic ratio of 0.7055 is slightly higher than the ratios around 0.7040 reported for the Permian granitic rocks from the Akaishi Range and the eastern Kyushu and the corresponding Permian granitic clasts in the Kitakami area. The initial ratio for the garnet-biotite granodiorite clasts is also slightly higher than the ratios (0.7037 and 0.7032) at 345 and 400 Ma reported for Yatsushiro granite of the Kurosegawa Belt (Nohda, 1973; Yanagi, 1975). These Sr isotopic data suggest that the garnet-biotite granodiorite clasts correspond to rocks differentiated from the Kurosegawa granitic rocks. The Sr initial ratio of 0.7055 at 251 Ma for the garnet-bearing granodiorite clasts is slightly enriched but still primitive, and the Sr initial ratio clearly indicates that the clasts were not derived from typical-continental crust. The Rb-Sr isotopic data and our preliminary Sm-Nd isotopic data for the garnet-biotite granodiorite clasts yield εSr (251 Ma) = +18 and εNd (251 Ma) = +6, suggesting an intra-oceanic arc provenance for the garnet-biotite granodiorite body from which the clasts in the Kozaki Formation had been derived.
Newsreader The Australian Muslim community says it is being singled out by Prime Minister John Howard. In an interview for a book to be published later this month, Mr Howard criticized a small ...section of the community for extreme views. He repeated those comments after a business breakfast in Sydney this morning. Danuta Kozaki reports.
The Kozaki Formation belonging to the Kurosegawa Terrane had been assigned to the Middle Permian in age judging from fusulinids. The purposes of this study are establishment of the lithostratigraphy ...and re-examination of the age based on radiolarian fossils.The Kozaki Formation, about 700m thick, is divided into three members. The Lower Member consists of conglomerate, sandstone, mudstone with limestone. The Middle Member is mainly composed of conglomerate and pebbly sandstone. The Upper Member consists of pebbly mudstone, mudstone and sandstone. The Lower and Upper members yield radiolarian fossils. The radiolarians of the Lower Member indicate Early Permian, and these of the Upper Member denote earliest Late and later Late Permian. Fossil evidence suggests that the Kozaki Formation ranges in age from Early to Late Permian. The Upper Member of the Kozaki Formation probably corresponds to the Kuma Formation.
TEA TIME: Afternoon tea for dinner may seem a rather eccentric offering, but that's just what Charlotte Ronson served up Thursday evening to celebrate the reopening of her namesake boutique in ...NoLIta. After showing off her renovated digs on Mulberry Street, Ronson coaxed a very downtown crowd to Alice Temperley's Tea Cup on the Upper East Side for a dinner of pumpkin scones, cookies and dainty tea sandwiches.
