- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines the unconformity between a late Miocene-Pliocene accretionary prism or Nishizaki formation and Pliocene trench-slope sediments or Kagamigaura formation that supports the incipient supply of siliciclastic sediments from the Honshu Island Arc in Japan. It states that the Nishizaki formation is intenselely deformed and has hemipelagic siltstone. It mentions that the chart pebbles in the Kagamigaura formation is from Jurassic accretionary complexes.
