“…3), consists of hornblende-biotite granodiorite and tonalite with a well-developed foliation subparallel to the fo liation in the metamorphic wallrocks. Previously reported ages for the Gamano granodiorite range from 83 to 95 Ma (Miller and Shibata, 1961;Kawano and Ueda, 1966;Nureki et al, 1992;Suzuki et al, 1994). The Kita-Oshima granite-gneiss, cogenetic with the Gamano granite (Honma, 1974;Honma and Sakai, 1975), consists of garnet-bearing granite, granodiorite, migmatitic gneissose quartz-diorite, amphibolite blocks, metamorphosed mafic dikes, and blocks of pelitic and psammitic gneisses (Kojima and Okamura, 1968).…”
