Abstract: | The Sarugawa ultramafic mass is interpreted as a nappe here called the "Iwanai Nappe", resting, with its sedimentary cover, on a unit reworking ophiolitic rocks and Cretaceous Yezo deposits. The Iwanai Nappe has been emplaced toward the south-west from an area situated east of the "Yezo Syncline". The age of movement is inferred to be Eocene, contemporaneous with the beginning of the strike-slip movement in Hidaka belt. This structure is a good explanation for the Lower Cretaceous facies distribution in the concerned area. |
