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).

TAU - total analytical uncertainty; Raw He age - (U-Th)/He age uncorrected for alpha ejection; Ft - alpha ejection correction factor after Farley et al. (1996); D(230) - parameter describing zircon-melt fractionation of 230Th/238U (Farley et al., 2002; Schmitt et al., 2010) calculated as (Th/U)zircon/(Th/U)magma, whereby a value of 4 was used for (Th/U)magma and a value of 3.8 was used as D(231) (Schmitt, 2011); Diseq.-cor. He age - (U-Th)/He age corrected for disequilibrium calculated by using MCHeCalc software (Schmitt et al. 2010).
