CHIME (chemical Th-U-total Pb isochron) ages have been determined for monazites and zircons from the Hikami Granite, granitoid clasts of the “Devonian” Ono Formation and arkosic sandstones of the “Silurian” Kawauchi Formation in the South Kitakami terrane, on the basis of precise electron microprobe analyses. The main results are as follows: (1) The CHIME ages of zircons from the Hikami Granite in the Ono area are in the range from 340±20 to 360±20 Ma. (2) The granitoid clasts in the “Devonian” Ono Formation at Higuchi-zawa can be classified into three age groups: 250-260 Ma, 420-450 Ma and 610 Ma. The age data and petrographical features of the clasts do not show their derivation from the Hikami Granite. (3) The CHIME ages of detrital monazites from the arkosic sandstones of the “Silurian” Kawauchi Formation at Kusayami-zawa concentrate at ca. 430 Ma with a subordinate mode at ca. 500 Ma, and those of detrital zircons range from ca. 250 Ma to as old as ca. 1800 Ma. (4) Monazites and zircons from the granitoid overlain by the arkosic sandstone at Kusayami-zawa give ca. 250 Ma CHIME ages; they are significantly younger than those from the Hikami Granite in the Ono area. These CHIME monazite and, zircon ages do not support a current view that the Hikami Granite is pre-Silurian basement. Rather, the CHIME age data require the detailed stratigraphical and sedimentological re-examination of the Ono and Kawauchi Formations.
