초록

2007년 11월에 천연기념물 제487호로 지정된 화순군 서유리의 백악기 화석산지는 수각류 발자국 보행렬, 식물화석, 건열, 연흔, 수평층리 등 고환경을 연구하는데 중요한 자료들을 포함한다. 이 백악기 퇴적층은 하부에 직경 5-40 cm의 다양한 성분의 화산암역을 함유하며, 후기의 화순안산암에 의해 덮인다. 백악기 퇴적층과 동시퇴적된 6시료의 화산암역과 이 지층을 덮는 화순안산암 2시료를 대상으로 전암을 이용한 K-Ar법 절대연대측정을 실시하였으며, 그 결과 백악기말의 투로니안(90-70 Ma)에서 신생대 초기인 플라이오세($63.4{\pm}1.2$, $62.1{\pm}1.2$ Ma)에 해당한다. 연대측정 결과 백악기 퇴적층의 퇴적시기와 공룡의 활동시기에 대한 최대지질연대는 약 70 Ma이다. 이 연대는 여수 사도지역에서 공룡발자국을 포함하는 백악기층의 퇴적시기(71-66 Ma)와 서로 대비될 가능성을 시사한다.

The Cretaceous fossil sites of Seoyuri in Hwasun was designated as the Korean Natural Monument No. 487 in November 2007. It provides important resources for paleoenvironmental studies, including theropod trackways, plant fossils, mudcracks, ripple marks, and horizontal bedding. The Cretaceous sedimentary strata contain a wide variety of volcanic pebbles, 5-40 cm in diameter in the lower portion and are overlain by the Late Cretaceous Hwasun andesite. Whole rock absolute K-Ar age determinations were performed on six volcanic pebbles from the Cretaceous sedimentary strata and on two samples from the overlaying Hwasun andesite. These ages indicate that the rocks belong to the period between the Turonian of the late Cretaceous (91-70 Ma) and the Pliocene age of the early Cenozoic ($63.4{\pm}1.2$ and $62.1{\pm}1.2$ Ma). Thus, the K-Ar ages indicate that the maximum geological age of the dinosaur track-bearing sedimentary deposits is about ca. 70 Ma. Therefore, it suggests that the age is comparable to the formation ages of the dinosaur footprints-bearing deposits in Sado area of Yeosu (71-66Ma).
