Analytical data of zircons from tephra in the Oshamambe district(Kuromatsunai lowland), southwestern Hokkaido
Fig. S1. Outcrop photographs of the sampled tephras. (a)CRGW, (b) CRG_SS, (c) ST-PF. Yellow dashed rectangles (height of rectangles: ~30 cm) denote where samples were collected.
Table S1. Zircon U–Pb dating results. Data marked with #(>75% common Pb contamination) were excluded for further U–Pb analyses.
- CRGW (sampling location coordinates: 42.616478,140.316706) measured on 09/30/2020, 10/29/2020
- CRG_SS (sampling location coordinates: 42.607056,140.314058) measured on 09/30/2020
- ST-PF (sampling location coordinates: 42.618414,140.325478) measured on 07/06/2021
- Bishop Tuff (reference age: 0.767±0.001 Ma; Crowley et al., 2007) measured on 09/30/2020, 10/29/2020, 07/06/2021
- Fish Canyon Tuff (reference age: 28.402 ± 0.023 Ma; Schmitz and Bowring, 2001) measured on 09/30/2020, 07/06/2021
- Plešovice (reference age: 337.13±0.37 Ma; Sláma et al., 2008) measured on 09/30/2020, 10/29/2020, 07/06/2021
- a_fTh/U = (Th/U)zircon/(Th/U)magma. (Th/U)magma of 4.0 ± 2.0 for unknown, 3.0 ± 1.5 for Bishop Tuff, and 2.2 ± 1.1 for Fish Canyon Tuff were used.
- b_f206% denotes the percentage of 206Pb that is common Pb and is calculated as follows: f206% = 100 × (x-0.0461)/(0.832-0.0461), where x is a measured 207Pb/206Pb ratio (Ito et al., 2017).
- c_Measured isotope ratio, that is before corrections of initial 230Th and 231Pa disequilibrium and common Pb.
- d_Individual U-Pb (238U-206Pb) ages were determined using the modified 207Pb method (Sakata, 2018). Error of weighted mean is shown as 95% confidence level.
- e_MSWD: mean square weighted deviation.
- f_Statistical outlier identified by applying 2σ criterion in Isoplot (Ludwig, 2012).
