“…This site B. In this case, the possibility of limestone indicates that the overlying red colored soils origin of the soil quartz is not fully refuted by The characteristic size for long-distance transported fine-aerosolic particles ranges from 1 to 10pm in diameter (Jackson, 1981). Although the four sample sites studied are situated 100 to 300 km apart (Fig.…”

“…Almost identical 8180 values are recorded for quartz of the same size fraction de veloped on limestones and dolomites in Italy (+ 17.7 to + 19.6%o, Jackson et al, 1982). These are of the composition range common to the quartz in aerosolic dusts from Northern Hemisphere (Jackson, 1981).…”

“…Post-depositional oxygen isotope ex change of quartz is known to be very limited through weathering, transportation and deep burial (Clayton et al, 1978). Hence, the oxygen isotopic signature of quartz provides direct evidence for the provenance of its host soils and sediments (Jackson, 1981). A characteristic range of 8180 values of + 16 to + 19%o has been recongnized in aerosol-size quartz particles (1 10 µm in diameter) recovered from central North Pacific pelagic sediments, Hawaiian highland sediments and Southeast Asian soils (Jackson, 1981).…”

On the basis of oxygen isotopic study of quartz, Mizota and Matsuhisa (1985) showed that the soils overlying Paleozoic limestones in Japan are of eolian origin derived from the Asian inland.…”

Four red-colored soils and associated underlying Cretaceous limestones in Greece were analysed for content, particle-size distribution and oxygen isotope composition of quartz. Very low content of quartz in the limestones and lack of correspondence between the particle-size distribution of quartz in the soils and that in the limestones suggest that the overlying soils did not develop entirely from the weathering residuum of the underlying limestones. The particle-size of soil quartz decreases with increasing eleva tion of the sample sites. Soils developed at a lower altitude (---50 m , A.S.L.) are likely to have ac cumulated coarse-grained eolian quartz winnowed from local beach sands when the sea level was lowered during the glacial period. The range of 8180 values from + 17 .6 to + 19.3%o obtained for the aerosol-sized quartz (1-10 gm in diameter) is characteristic of eolian dusts in the Northern Hemisphere , i ndicating its derivation from a well-mixed source of quartz of diverse origins . Such a restricted range of 8180 values contrasts notably with the wider range of 8180 values of quartz from the underlying limestones (+ 19

The oxygen isotope ( 18 O) composition of quartz and the d (060) values of clay minerals were determined from four pedons of non-allophanic Andosols derived mainly from the Holocene volcanic ash on Yakushima Island. These soils contained considerable amounts of aerosol-sized (1-10 mm) and coarse (453mm) quartz. The18 O values for the aerosol-sized quartz ranged from 14.7% to 17.4%, which was comparable to or slightly lower than known values for loess-derived Red and Yellow soils on Tanegashima Island located approximately 20 km east of Yakushima Island. The abundance and18 O values of the aerosol-sized quartz indicated that non-allophanic Andosols on Yakushima Island were strongly influenced by aeolian dust. However, the presence of coarse quartz implied that granite-derived materials were also incorporated into non-allophanic Andosols. X-ray diffraction patterns for most clay minerals showed two broad peaks around 0.154 and 0.150 nm, respectively. The d (060) values confirmed that 2:1-2:1:1 clay minerals consisted of dioctahedral and trioctahedral clay minerals. Since aeolian dust contains little or no coarse quartz and trioctahedral clay minerals, the abundance of coarse quartz and trioctahedral minerals confirmed that the occurrence of nonallophanic Andosols on Yakushima was influenced by biotite-granite, in addition to aeolian dust.
