Abstract The lithological aspects of the Izumi group, the notes of general geology and the structural geology are described. The elongated area of Northern Shikoku is covered by the marine elastic sediments, t...he upper Cretaceous Izumi Group, which is distributed along the Median Tectonic Line of the Southwest Japan. They consist of a large volume of elastics. The stratigraphic succession of the Izumi Group in the investigated area is summarized as follows in ascending order.
Lower subgroup
Formation A : conglomerates and sandstones
Formation B: sandstones with thin shales
Formation C : alternation of shales and sandstones
Middle subgroup
Formation D: alternation of sandstones and shales lower part predominated sandstones
Formation E : shales alternated with sandstones
Upper subgroup
Formation F: chiefly-coarse grained sandstones, partly with sporadic gravels
Formation G: alternation of sandstones and shales
Formation H: conglomeratic sandstones One subgroup shows one sedimentary cycle, the lower part of which is dominated by coarse-grained elastic rocks. Various types of graded bedding are shown in Figs. 3 to 6 and Tables 1 to 7. The direction of the sedimentary transport is determined as being from northeast to southwest by the analysis of primary sedimentary structures. As a result of the comparison of the sedimentary environments, the main part of them are considered to be a kind of submarine fan.
