摘要
We obtained zircon U-Pb ages using LA-ICP-MS for an acidic tuff bed in the upper part of the Akasaki Formation, a basal unit of the Eocene sequence in the Amakusa area, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. The U-Pb age of 49.1 +/- 0.4 Ma (95% confidence interval) suggests a late early Eocene age. Our result is important for biochronological assessment of the land mammal fauna of the Akasaki Formation. The new age date supports the correlation of the Akasaki mammal fauna with the Bridgerian North American Land Mammal Age.
