Abstract:The concept of the Akiyoshi Orogeny emerged from the geological study of the overturned Akiyoshi Limestone. However, our understanding of the stratigraphy and geological structure of the siliceous-clastic rocks surrounding the Akiyoshi Limestone remains incomplete. In this study, we conducted a geological survey within the Beppu unit, distributed on the north of the Akiyoshi Limestone, revealing substantial-scale strata overturning even within the siliceous-clastic rocks, which formed as the upper section of t… Show more
