火山灰を年代指標とした編年は、放射年代測定のように誤差を伴わないため、地層処分の観点から重要となる新第三紀と第四紀の年代区分を一義的に行える利点を有しているが、これらの時代の火山灰は、著しい風化のために火山灰対比に一般的に用いられる屈折率測定などが適用できないことが多い。そこで、本研究では、風化に強い石英などの鉱物中に含まれるガラス包有物の主成分化学組成を用いて、火山灰対比の事例研究を屏風山断層周辺の土岐砂礫層において行った。その結果、土岐砂礫層の中部の細粒土層にはガラス包有物を含む火山灰起源の石英が含まれ、そのガラス包有物の主成分化学組成から南谷I火山灰であることが判明したとともに、本手法の有効性が明らかになった。

Distinguishing strongly weathered tephras is very difficult because major-element chemistry of volcanic glasses is affected by weathering. On the other hand, it recently became clear that major-element analysis of glass inclusions in quartz and plagioclase is an effective method of investigating strongly weathered tephras. We studied the weathered tephras in the Toki Sand and Gravel Formation (TSG) located on the Nenoue highland, in the hanging wall of the Byobuyama fault. The TSG consists mainly of gravel beds with intercalated clay-sand beds in the lower and middle horizons. Glass inclusions in the quartz occur only in the weathered clay-sand beds. We found that the glass inclusions in the quartz in the middle horizons of the TSG provide the best correlations with those in the Minamidani-1 tephra deposits in the Kinki, Chubu and Shin-etsu Districts.
