by Yoshiki Fujiwara and Shomei Okada' (with 5 text-figures and 1 table) (Contribution from the Department of Geology and Mineralogy, Faculty of Science, Hokkaido University , No. 1634) A paleomagnetic study was made on 149 specimens from 31 sites on Pleistocene volcanic products deve loping in .southwestern Hokkaido. Of them, two pyroclastic flows and one lava flow are reverse ly magnetized. The boundary between the Brunhes normal and the Matuyama reversed epochs probably took place sometime during the eruption of volcanic products developing around the Toya and also Shikotsu Caldera in southwestern Hokkaido, North Japan. Introduction The concept that the earth's magnetic field may not always had the same polarity as it has today had already apprehended early this century (Brunhes 1906, Matuyama 1929). The recent progress of paleomagnetic studies and also K-Ar age determinations have led the applicability of the geomagnetic polarity time scale to geochronology especially for the past 4 m.y. Paleomagnetic method applied to stratigraphic correlation is called paleomagnetic stratigraphy. Intervals, during which the geomagnetic field had predominantly one polar.ty have been termed epochs. They generally have durations of the order of 10 years. Events which have an order of magnitude shorter occur within epochs. The result of the interpretation of the ages of the magnetic stratigraphy followed by the time scale on the basis of K-Ar age determinations is shown in Fig. 5. The st ratigraphic nomenclature used for this figure is based on that of Cox and Darlymple (196 7). Various types of pyroclastic deposits including pumice flow and fall deposits ranging from the Lower Pleistocene to Holocene are widely develop in Hokkaido. We have long collaborated with Prof. Minato in field to settle the stratigraphic sequences of these pyroclastic deposits and tried to correlate them to the present international standard stratigraphy (Minato et al 1970, 1972a, 1972b). In addition to these stratigraphic investigations we have tried t~ applicate paleomagnetic methods on these pyroclastic sequence to settle more exact stratigraphic position. Some results of magneto-stratigraphic analysis of volcanic products in southwestern and also central Hokkaido were already reported (Hashimoto et al 1968, Fujiwara 1972 and Fujiwara et al 1975). In this paper, further results of paleomagnetic analysis on pyroclastic deposits developed in southwestern Hokkaido and discussions on their stratigraphic positions corellate to the international standard paleomagnetic polarity time scale are briefly given. • Present address: Department of Earth Science, Faculty of Education, Tottori University, Tottori 680 190 Y.
