Figures & Tables

Fig. 1

Index (a) and locality (b) maps. Sampling locations of Kannabe scoria cone in southwestern Japan for paleomagnetic samples (locs. 1–6) and OSL dating (loc. a). Outcrop of loc. b is shown as AT tephra under Kannabe scoria (see Fig. 2).

Fig. 2

Geological columnar sections in locs. a and b of Fig. 1. Closed circle show sampling positions for OSL dating. The estimated OSL age is also shown.

Fig. 3

Optical photomicrograph of a Kannabe lava sample 4 under crossed polarizer: Ol, olivine; Pl, plagioclase.

Fig. 4

Preheat temperature plateau measurement. Averages of three aliquots are shown at the respective temperatures. A preheating plateau is apparent at 220–260°C.

Fig. 5

Vector end-point diagrams of demagnetization results for typical Kannabe samples. Solid and open circles respectively represent projections onto the horizontal and N–S vertical planes: (a) one magnetic component with smooth decay to the origin; (b) noisy trajectories with scatter; and (c) two magnetic components.

Fig. 6

Equal-area projection onto the lower hemisphere of magnetic components (solid circles) showing the mean direction (cross), its 95% confidence circle and present Earth’s magnetic field (square) around the studied area are shown. The mean direction and its 95% confidence limit from Torii et al. (1978) and from Morinaga et al. (2000) are also shown respectively as open triangles and open circles.

Fig. 7

a) OSL decay curve of natural and 45 Gy as regeneration dose. b) Growth curve of an aliquot for regenerative doses of 0, 15, 25, 35, and 45 Gy.

Fig. 8

Dose distributions (n = 9) are shown as the radial plots.

Fig. 9

Paleomagnetic direction from Kannabe lava shown on paleosecular variations from Lake Biwa after Hayashida et al. (2007). Bold lines and gray bars respectively represent the paleomagnetic direction and its 95% confidence angle.
