1. Introduction
In the northern Boso Peninsula on the Pacific side of central J apan, middle Pleistocene
shallow marine deposits are widely distributed. They are called the Jizodo and Yabu
Formations in the Shimosa Group_ Many stratigraphical and paleontological studies,
particularly regarding molluscs, have been published since Yokoyama (1922). The two
formations are considered to be the deposits of the代 Paleo-Tokyo Bay" which is thought
10 日irokazuOZAWA, Takahiro KAiVIIYA and Akira TSUKAGOSHI
to have been opened eastwards and narrowly opened southwards to the Pacific
Ocean. Previous works recognized a cyclic Hthological change in each formation
1960; Sugihara et 1978; Kikuchi et 1988; Tokuhashi and 1989).
The lithofacies changes from non-marine mud to marine sand from the base to the top of
both formations. The marine deposit is accompanied by a cold water molluscan assem
sublittoraD atthe which changes to a warm water sublittor¥
al) at the middle, and back to a cold water (upper sublittoral) assemblage
again in the upper horizon. It has been that the changes of molluscan assem-
blages have been caused by sea-level changes and Babaヲ 1973;Kondo,
1989) .
The ostracodes from the two formations were described and used for paleoenviron-
mεntal studies 1978, 1982; 1982MS). In these previous
the sampling horizons were sporadic, and the detailed discussion on changes of the sedimen-
tary environment on the basis of ostracode faunal analysis, i.e. water depth and relative
water temperature, have not been completed. From this point to the present, living
ostracode faunas around the J apanese Islands have been extensively studied, e.g. in the Ise
and Mikawa (Bodergat and 1988), (Ishizaki and Irizuki, 1990),
Sendai Bay and Itoh, 1991), Otsuchi et al., 1992) and off the Shimane
Peninsula and 1992). Our knowledge of the geographical and bath-
distribution of J apanese ostracodes has been improved. The development
of ostracode data as environmental indicators is exemplified best by the recent classical
work of Ikeya and Cronin (1993), which proved that the paleo-depth and paleo-tempera
ture could be quantitatively estimated the ostracode S.c.D. The work on the
late Pliocene Yabuta Formation on the Sea of ]apan coast (Cronin et 1994) represents
an applied example of the improved data and for the of fossil
ostracode assemblages
In the present northeast off the Boso Peninsula, the warm Kuroshio Current
meets the cold Current. Therefore, in this region, the oceanic thermal structure
is complicated. Due to middle Pleistocene climatic changes, the paleoceanic environment

them into a list as a simple and convenient paleoenvironmental stanc1ard; 2) trace vertical
changes of these indicators in detail within the two formations and reconfirm the glacio-
eustacy; 3) estimate the Paleo-Tokyo Bay's oceanic environment, especially water c1epth
anc1 ocean currents; 4) obtain func1amental data for future evolutionary work which will
discuss the relationship between heterochrony-originatec1 speciation and environmental
changes

The ]izodo and the Yabu belong to the lowermost formations of the middle to late
Pleistocene Shimosa Group (Fig, 1), The Jizodo Formation overlies conformably the
Kazusa The Yabu Formation covers the Formation and is
overlain with the KamIizumi Formation of the Shimosa Group The both
formations are lithologically divided into the lower and upper parts rc>"n~.rT'
shi and Endo, 1984). Although there are local the lower part of the
Formation is generally about 1-8m thick and consists of non-marine silt, clay and marine
muddy sand with interbedded cold water molluscan fossils. The upper part is
about 50 -70m thick and is made up mainly of marine fine to medium sand with warm and
cold water molluscan fossils. distributed tephras such as TE-5 (0.39土0.08F.T.
Ma; Suzuki and Sugihara, 1983) are interbedded in this part. The of the Yabu
Formation is about 1-30m thick and consists of sand and silt with non-marine and
cold marine molluscan fossils. The upper part is about 10-35m thick and consists of
marine fine to coarse sand with warm and cold water molluscan fossils. Tephras such as
SY and GoP2 (0.31士0.05F.T. Suzuki and 1983) are embedded 1982;

stated that the ages of the Jizodo and the Yabu Formations were correlated to the oxygen
isotope stages 11 and 9 respectively based on the tephrochronology.
In this study we investigated three large outcrops (Fig. 2). The lower part of the
Jizodo Formation is we11 exposed at Loc. 1 (Izumiyatsu), and the upper part at Loc. 2
(Nishiyatsu). Loc. 1 is about 30m above Loc. 2 stratigraphica11y (see Fig. 1). The
outcrop at Loc. 3 (Atebi) covers both the lower and upper parts of the Yabu Formation.
Since the mo11uscan fossils are poorly preserved in the lower part of the Yabu Formation
of this locality, we focused on study on the upper part alone.
A total of 37 sediment samples for the ostracode analysis were collected from the two
formations (Figs. 3-5). Samples were collected parallel to the bedding plane to obtain
contemporaneous sediments. Burrows filled with overlying sediments were excluded.
Each sample was collected within a 10cm interval of the bed.
After being dried in an oven, 320g of consolidated samples and about 400g of uncon-
solidated samples were washed through a 235 mesh (0.064mm opening) sieve. The dried
residues were divided by the quatering method into unit samples which contain about 200
ostracode individuals. The fractions between 0.25mm and lmm of each sample were
picked for a11 the ostracodes, and the rest of the fractions was stored. The individual
number was determined by adding the total of the left and right valves count to the number

each locality. The percentages show the ratio against the total ostracode inc1ividuals
within each sample. iNe term more than 10% species as引 abunc1antspecies" in this stuc1y.
In the lower part of the Jizodo Formation (Loc. 1) , we collected five samples from the
poorly sorted muddy fine sand which yieldec1 the articulated mol1uscan shells e.g. Callithaca
adarnsi, Saxidornus、ρμrtumtusanc1 MacOJna tokyoensis crowdedly. Only the upper three
samples, numbered from 1Z-1 to IZ-3, yie]ded ostracoc1es (Fig. 3) . These samp]es included
abundant Aurila sp. A and Cytherois asamushiensis. The total percentage of the two
species c1ecreases upwarc1s from 90% in IZ-1 to 20% in 1Z-3. Buntonia ha刀aii,Loxoconchα
tosaensis, Aurila kiritsubo and Pamkrithellaρseudadonta were abunc1ant in 1Z-3.
1n the upper part of the Jizodo Formation (Loc. 2), we obtainec1 eight samples from the
lower half horizon, poorly sortec1 fine to mec1ium sanc1 with articulated shells of molluscs,
e.g. Glyりrnensρilsbryiand Nemocardium samarangae, and four samples from the upper
half horizon, medium to coarse sand with articulated Panoρea Jaρonica and Solen krusen-sterni (Fig. 4)園 Onesample (NI-ll) was collectec1 from a mudc1y sand layer about 10cm
thick, interbedded in medium to coarse sand. All twelve samples, which are numbered
from NI -1 to NI -12, producec1 ostracoc1es. The Jizodo Formation of this locality are
characterized by being rich in Neonesid,ω olなodentataand Loxoconcha 0ρtimαThe
former species is about 15~25% in NI-3~6 , anc1 the latter occupies about 20~30% in NI
7 ~ 12. The ostracode assemblage defined by abundant species roughly coincide with that
of the molluscan assemblage. For example, Pontocythere jaρonica, P. subjaponica ~

It is difficult to infer the detailed paleoceanic environment on the basis of ostracode
abundant species. For example, Neonesidea oligodeηtata has wide tolerance for bathym-
etry from the tidal zone to the depth of ca. 150m. Therefore, in this study, we inferred the
paleoceanic environment by the environmentally valuable species for water depth, geo-
graphical distribution and ocean current indexes based on the review of previous studies

Then, all the depth indicators were taken into consideration on the second depth
analysis. The changes in percentages of Sl, S2, D1 and D2 species in each sample are
shown (Figs. 10-12, third graphs from the right), and their vertical quantitative changes
help us to estimate the gradual change of the paleo-depth. With "roughly estimated
depth" and "ratio of depth indicators", the paleo-depth and its change were well estimated.
The maximum paleo-depth is estimated by both the "roughly estimated depth" and "ratio
of depth indicators".
5. Paleoceanographic results
Water delうth
Fig. 10 shows the data of paleo-water depth of the lower part of the ]izodo Formation.
The roughly estimated depth is tidal zone-30m in the bottom horizon and the upper two
horizons are sublittoral zone-50m. On the percentages, Sl species (Aurila sp. A; species
in parenthesis are main species) decrease upwards and S2 (Cytherois asamushiensis)
increase upwards with s1ight increase of D1 species (Co間 前 何uimbamoηiwensis) . Conse
quent1y, the water depth in this part deepened upwards.
The paleo-water depth change of the upper part of the ]izodo Formation is shown in
Fig. 11. Roughly estimated depth is tidal zone-30m first (NI-1-2), then abruptly in-

species was almost exclusively found in NI -4 and NI -5 in theJizodo Formation. These
results indicate that the bottom water temperature was coolest at the very middle
but was very warm just below to NI -3) and above to NI -6) the coolest
horizon. As presented before, the horizon of NI -4 is thought to represent the maximum
Therefore, in the Formation, the water temperature is
thought to be very low in the maximum depth period. Aside from the very middle, the
general trend of the change is that the temperature was high around the middle horizon and
gradually decreased upwards.
In the upper part of the Yabu Formation, 38 warm water are found out of 115
species in total and it about one-third of all, likewise the upper part of the

in AT-2 and AT-3. This is caused by the abundance of warm water such as
Loxoconcha Aurila Celtiαjゅonicaandψteron subuchioi. The
minimum is 0.53 in A T -16, and this is caused by the abundance of cool water T of
Loxoconcha hanachirusato and asagao (Fig. 12). This suggests that the waτm
Kuroshio Current f10wed into the Paleo-Tokyo Bay during the of the upper part
of the Yabu Formation and that the cold Current did not reach, similar to the case
of the Jizodo Formation. As noted the horizon of AT-3 is inferred to be in the

was the highest in the maximum depth period and gradually dropped upwards and down時

Ostracode pαleoenviroηmental indicators
On the basis oI the available data on the distribution of extant ostracodes around the
Islands, we nine biogeographical distribution patterns for about 100
extant species out of 136 fossil from the middle Pleistocene Jizodo and Yabu
Formations. 1n addition we proposed four bathymetrical divisions. Using these patterns
and we are and able to reconstruct the water depth, warm-cool
water environment and the influence of ocean currents, i.e. the and
Tsugaru Currents. The present wod王showedthat the of the current system was
applied to the paleoenvironment of areas around the Boso Peninsula. Consider-
ing the ease and simplicity of the procedure, and given the fruitful results, the set of
indicators will be useful for future paleoenvironmental studies.

USTRACοDE EVIDENCE FOR THE PALEOCEANOGRAPHIC CHANGE 25
The alternation of the warm-cold water environment of the Jizoclo and Yabu Forma-
tiじ11Shas been discus弓edconcerni11g the alternatio11 oI the warm and cold
currents (thεKuroshio and on the basis of molluscan and foraminifer
fossils 1961; Suzuki and Aoki et Aoki and Baba,
Konピ 1989). it is essential to consider the eIfect of three ocεan currents,
thεKuroshio, the and the Tsugaru for the study around the Boso Peninsula. The
τsugaru Current flows southwards along the Pacific coast of northeastern through
the Tsugaru Strait at present. This current watεr mixes with the Kuroshio ancl
Currents water off thε ぺ3anriku"coast of the northeastem Fig. 7).
1n contrast to the ostracode in the Kuroshio and the Oyashio the
Tsugaru Current that from the Tsushima Cur喝rentappears to have its own
specific ostracode いthecool element of the Sea oI J apan" (see 8). The
substance of代 coolwater in the studied area was shown not to be the

The general pattern of the environmental was simi1ar between the Yabu anc1
仁10Formations except for the maximum water depth This pattern shows a
gradual increase of water白 andtemperature toward the middle horizon from both the
uppermost and the lowermost horizons. 1n the Yabu many indivicluals of D1

shio Current within the formation
For the Formation, the samples above and below the maximum paleo
depth horizon i.e. NI-5 and NI -6, are of the similar species
component of the maximum paleo-depth horIzon of the Yabu Formation The
resemblance suggests a simila了environ立lentbet,̂!een the two formations at these horizons
anc1 a similar enviromental change that becomes warmer and deeper toward the micldle
horizon. These results clearly support the previous that each formation
was cleposited during one glacial-interglacial climatic change.
An interesting point is that the horizon of the maximum paleo-clepth (about 100m) of
the ]izoclo Formation contains the distal Tsushima and Tsugaru Current species oI Dl and
D2 as wel1 as the Kuroshio species of D1, and this brought the unexpectedly 代cool"
environment of the horizon in the analysis.
Gεnerally, cold heavy water creeps under the warm light water as the Oyashio Current
water crawls under the Kuroshio Current water off the Boso Peninsula at present. The
clifference of the ostracocle assemblages at the maximum depth horizon between the two
formations can be explainecl well by the oceanic thermal structure as follows; in the
26 Hirokazu OZAWA, Takahiro KAMIYA and Akira TSUKAGOSHI
maximum depth period of the Jizodo Formation, the cool Tsugaru Current water (ca.
several degree cooler than the Kuroshio water) possibly crept under the warm Kuroshio
Current water and affected the bouom water environment of the Paleo-Tokyo Bay. On
the other hand, in the case of the Yabu Formation, the Tsugaru Current water did not creep
under the Kuroshio water.
On a global scale, it is thought that the warm current intensifies during the warm
climate period. The warmer it is the more the amount of melting ice sheet in Arctic
increases and it accelerates the deep sea ocean circulation, which finally causes the
intensification of the Kuroshio Current around the J apanese Islands. When the climate
became warmer in the middle Pleistocene, the Kuroshio Current, Tsushima Current and
Tsugaru Current which is a branch of the Tsushima Current would have intensified. If we
assume that the climate was warmest in the period of the maximum paleo-depth, we are
able to propose the following scenario that caused the differences between the two forma-
tions. In case of the period of the Jizodo Formation, both streams of the Kuroshio and
Tsushima Currents were sufficiently intensified. As a result, the intensified Tsugaru
Current finally reached the Paleo-Tokyo Bay only in the period of maximum depth and
crept under the warm Kuroshio Current. The sea-level rise in the period of the Yabu
Formation was not enough high to push the Tsugaru Current to reach the Paleo-Tokyo
Bay. This assumption is consistent with the data that the maximum paleo-depth was
deeper for the Jizodo Formation (about 100m) than the Yabu Formation (50-100m) and
that the environment just above and below the horizon of the maximum depth of the Jizodo
Formation is similar to the environment of the maximum depth period of the Yabu
Formation in depth (50-100m) and temperature (strongest influence of the Kuroshio
Current) .
Another possible hypothesis to explain the difference depends on "topography'¥In
this case, the Tsugaru Current could have reached the Paleo-Tokyo Bay in both the period
of the middle horizons of the Yabu and Jizodo Formations. The difference in oceanic
thermal structure might be related to the different distance from coasts as we see it in the
transverse section off the present Boso Peninsula. It is possible that the sudden cooling at
the maximum depth of the Jizodo Formation was caused by the lateral movement of the
Tsugaru Current coastwar

graph) . This cool-shallow environment, accompanied by common M -I;九Tspecies, must be
derived from the general cooling of the Tsugaru Current and the Kuroshio Cunent water
in the mixing zone during the global climatic cooling. Evεn though the oceanic situation
was 110t completely specified, it is newly proved that the cool environments appeared twice,
in shallow and the deepest conditions, in the Jizodo Formatioi1. This is clifferent from the
pattern previously observed in deposits during a glaciahnterglacial sea-level change.
The previously observed pattern was illustrated by the single cool-warm change in the
Yabu Formation and in the early Pleistocene Omma Formation on the Sea of J apan coast
(Kitamura ancl Konclo, 1990)ー Thedouble cooling in one glaciahnterglacial change is
thought to have recordecl the vertical water mass structure cl1..1ring the midclle Pleistocene
