The applicability of both quartz and feldspar luminescence dating was tested on twenty-five samples from a marine succession now forming a cliff at Oga Peninsula, Honshu Island, Japan. The quartz shows thermal instability and linear modulated optically stimulated luminescence (LM-OSL) analysis revealed the dominance of a slow component. When compared with independent age control provided by two marker tephra, the quartz OSL ages grossly underestimated the depositional age. In contrast, potassium (K)-rich feldspar is a suitable dosimeter when measured using post-IR infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) at 225C, but it was found that the fading corrected ages calculated using dose rates based on sieved grain-size still underestimate. SEM analyses on the feldspar extracts revealed that the grains are amorphous with small crystalline inclusions; using standard internal dose rate parameters, this would result in a too large dose rate. Three different dose rate scenarios were considered for calculation: (1) sieved grain size (90-180m) and 12.50.5% K. (2) smaller grain size (4020m) and measured K concentration (60.5%), and (3) smaller grain size consistent with the observed crystal dimensions (4020m) and 12.50.5% K. The final dose rate scenario produces fading corrected ages that agree well with independent age control.

Low-temperature thermochronometry using electron spin resonance (ESR) can reconstruct late-stage exhumation histories at shallow crustal depths during the Quaternary period. This technique proposed several decades ago has recently become practical, as the analytical protocol was facilitated by instrument development. In the past few years, ESR thermochronometry has been successfully applied in several regions to reconstruct the exhumation histories and topographic changes, and expected to be applied in more various regions. Thus, we have investigated the exhumation history of Tanigawa-dake area in Japan using ESR thermocoronometry. This study has applied ESR thermochronometry for quartz grains extracted from interiors of two granitoids in the Tanigawa-dake area. We performed a series of ESR measurements, heating experiments, and X-ray irradiation experiments for the quartz grains to obtain radiation dose responses and thermal decay properties for two types of trapped charges in the quartz grains. We also have analyzed bulk sample radionuclide concentrations and original grain size distributions of quartz minerals within the granites to calculate annual dose rates. For the dose response, unsaturated dose response curves were obtained by fitting a single exponential function with a good correlation. For the thermal decay property, we obtained experimental data from isothermal heating experiments. In this presentation, we will show kinetic parameters that describe charge trapping/detrapping processes of the trapped charges in the crust and discuss an exhumation history in Tanigawa-dake area, reconstructed by inverse modelling with the parameters.
