Outcrop photograph of the lower part of the Kobana Formation, Arakawa Group, in the Karasuyama area, central Japan.

Some Neogene marine sequences in Japan are interbedded with volcaniclastic material suitable for radiometric dating. Among them, Arakawa Group is particularly suited for the study of two independent stratigraphic tools: biostratigraphy and geochronology, because it contains both calcareous and siliceous microfossils and interbeds many datable volcaniclasic layers (see Takahashi and Iwano, this volume). The integrated stratigraphic investigation for the Arakawa Group is one of the recommended activities of the Subcommission on Geochronology (SOG) of the IUGS:“Integrated Stratigraphy of the Miocene Sequence: Miocene from Japan”.
