“…Isozaki, 1986;Isozaki and Maruyama, 1991). This relationship was initially suggested by Shinjoe and Tagami (1994), Manabe et al (1996) and Kiminami et al (1999), and has been confirmed by recent U-Pb geochronology of detrital zircons separated from metamorphic rocks (Aoki et al, 2007) and deep seismic profile data (Sato et al, 2005;Ito et al, 2009). Furthermore, Aoki et al (2008) demonstrated that these rocks underwent blueschist-facies metamorphism (sensu lato) at 66-61 Ma, much younger than the ages of peak metamorphism of Sanbagawa metamorphic rocks.…”
