  • Thirty one samples from Late Cretaceous and Tertiary interval sections (468-783m) of the Kachi-I Well in Block II, Yellow Sea Basin, have been analysed for their terrestrially derived palynofloras. The systematic study of the palynomorphs recovered has yielded one hundred and fifty-five taxa; forty-three species of spores belonging to twenty-eight genera, seventy-seven pollen assignable to forty-three genera, and twenty-seven species assignable to fifteen genera and eight fungal remains. The results of both qualitative and quantitative analysis propose a succession of eight terrestrial palynomorph associations. Seven associations are erected in Late Maastrichtian and one in Early to Middle Miocene. Age determinations are on the basis of palynomorph taxa alone for the all associations. The Late Cretaceous/Tertiary unconformity is recognised at between 603 and 613m, based on the palynological data. The sedimentary basin during the Late Cretaceous seem to be lowland shallow marginal lacustrine with stagnant, mesotrophic conditions. On the other hand, the basin during the Early-Middle Miocene is considered to have been characterised by lowland swamp areas. The palaeoclimatic conditions during the Late Cretaceous are considered to be humid tropical to subtropical, while during the Early to Middle Miocene they are considered to be warm temperate with humid conditions. A comparison of palynomorph assemblages between the present study and the previous studies of Late Cretaceous in Circum-Pacific Northern Hemisphere is made, These assemblages reveal that lower sections (612-783m) of the Kachi-I well belong to the Late Cretaceous Aquilapollenites province of Herngreen and Chlonova (1981) and Srivastava (1981, 1994).

  • 해남지역에 분포하는 화산암과 화산쇄설성 퇴적암으로부터 고지자기 연구를 실시하고, 국내에서는 처음으로 특성잔류자화를 구하였다. 이들 화산암류는 K-Ar 전암분석에 의해, 일부 전기백악기를 제외하면, 주로 후기백악기의 연대를 나타내고 있다. 이들 암석의 특성잔류자화 방향을 나타내는 자성광물은 자철석으로 판명되었다. 연구지역의 후기백악기 암석들로부터 구한 평균자화방향을 Dm/Im=21.4$^{0}$ /57.1$^{0}$ ($\alpha_{95}=13.4^{\circ}$, k=350.0)으로서, 이로부터 구한 고지자기극의 위치는 $72.5^{\circ}N/199.9^{\circ}E$ (dp/dm=$14.2^{\circ}/19.5^{\circ}$)이다. 이 결과는 80~90 Ma의 유라시아 대륙으로부터 구한 고지자기극의 위치와 통계적으로 일치하며, 연구지역을 포함한 한반도가 후기백악기 이래로 안정되어 왔음을 시사한다. 연구지역의 전기 백악기의 암석들로부터 구한 평균자화방향은 동시기의 경상분지의 방향과 편의를 나타내며, 이것은 해남지역을 포함하는 소지괴가 전기백악기 말과 후기백악기 초 사이에 반시계방향의 수평회전운동을 경험했을 가능성을 제시하여 준다.

  • The representative Cretaceous-Tertiary paleomagnetic poles of the Korean Peninsula have been obtained from primary remanences of unremagnetized rocks: $59.6^{\circ}N$, $194.7^{\circ}E$ for $K_{1M}$; $67.6^{\circ}N$, $207.7^{\circ}E$ for $K_{1L}$; $71.1^{\circ}N$, $215.2^{\circ}E$ for $K_2$; and $84.9^{\circ}N$, $292.6^{\circ}E$ for the Miocene. Chemical remanences of remagnetized rocks also yield Early Tertiary paleomagnetic pole ($83.9^{\circ}N$, $88.3^{\circ}E$). These paleopoles provide the tentative APWP of the Korean Peninsula since the Cretaceous, and suggest some tectonic interpretations as follows. The Korean Peninsula was located at similar latitude to the present position, and rotated clockwise with respect to the adjacent blocks during the Cretaceous. The Korean Peninsula experienced latitudinal movement during the Early Tertiary, which was possibly associated with the continental collision between India and Asia. The Korean Peninsula and Southwest Japan might be independent terrains during the Cretaceous based on the temporal discrepancies of the southward movements and the clockwise rotations of the two blocks with respect to Eurasia.

  • The "Younger Granites" in Korea were being believed to be late Cretaceous in age and named "Bulkuksa granites" by all previous works until the writer had discovered Jurassic granite in 1963. The present paper is to prove its validity by age dating on these granites which was carried out by Professor Y. Ueda, Tohoku University, Japan. The age of 37 granites samples from various localities ranges from 68 my to 181 my. Of these 10 samples belonged to early Jurassic, 6 samples to mid-Jurassic, 4 samples to late Jurassic, 5 samples to early Cretaceous, and 12 samples to late Cretaceous in age. It is of the writer's opinion that the granites intruded in from early Jurassic to early Cretaceous age belong to Daebo granites and are syntectonic plutons associated with Daebo orogeny, and only those of late Cretaceous age belong to Bulkuksa granites that were associated with Bulkuksa disturbance. Daebo granites are aligned along NE-SW Sinian direction in the middle parts of Korea and crop out in the cores of folded mountains which were formed by Daebo Orogeny, such as Charyong, Noryong, Sobaek, and Dukyu Ranges. On the contrary Bulkuksa granites are restricted in Kyongsang basin and adjacent few localities in distribution and show no alignment. Granites supposedly associated with other disturbances of post-precambrian Have not been found so far in S. Korea. Age dating of granites has revealed that Daebo orogeny might be continuous from Songrim distur bance of late Triassic age. From this viewpoint, it could be assumed that Daedong system of Jurassic age were deposited in separate intermontain basins while Daebo orogeny was active, so that Daedong system in separate localities in Korea could not been correlated in their lithology as well as stratig raphy.

  • Structural inversion refers to the reverse reactivation of extensional faults that influence basin shortening accommodated by contractional faults or folds. On the Korean peninsula, Miocene inversion structures have been found, but the Cretaceous rocks on Geoje Island may have undergone inversion as early as the Upper Cretaceous. To evaluate the structural inversion on Geoje Island, located on the eastern side of South Korea, and to determine the effects of preexisting weakness zones, field-based geometric and kinematic analyses of faults were performed. The lithology of Geoje Island is dominated by hornfelsified shale, siltstone, and sandstone in the Upper-Cretaceous Seongpori formation. NE and NW-oblique normal faults, conjugate strike-slip (NW-sinistral transpressional and E-W-dextral transtensional) faults, and NE-dextral transpressional faults are the most prominent structural features in Geoje Island. Structural inversion on Geoje Island was evidenced by the sinistral and dextral transpressional reactivation of the NW and NE-trending oblique normal faults respectively, under WNW-ESE/NW-SE compression, which was the orientation of the compressive stress during the Late Cretaceous to Early Cenozoic.

  • 통합층서적 접근을 통하여 서해 대륙붕 군산분지 중앙소분지의 퇴적층을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 음향 기반암 상부에서부터 시퀀스 I (Cretaceous or older(?)), 시퀀스 II (Late Cretaceous), 시퀀스 III (late Late Cretaceous or younger(?)), 시퀀스 IV (Early Miocene or older(?)), 시퀀스 V (Middle Miocene) 등 5개의 시퀀스로 분대된다. 후기 쥐라기 말부터 탄루 단층대를 따라 주향이동 단층들이 발달하면서 소규모 열개 분지들이 형성되었고 이후 후기 백악기까지 지속된 분지단층들의 좌수향 이동에 의해 대규모의 인장력을 받게 되어 소규모 열개 분지들은 대규모의 인리형 분지로 확장되었다. 하지만 이후 팔레오세 말부터 시작되는 히말라얀 조산운동의 영향으로 변형이 되기 시작하고, 후기 에오세-전기 마이오세에 동중국에는 남북 주향의 습곡을 수반하는 강한 지구조운동이 나타나 구조 역전 현상이 일어났다. 지구조운동이 완화되면서 심한 습곡으로 인해 생긴 요철부를 부분적으로 채우며 퇴적층이 형성되고, 이후 광역적인 침강과 함께 플라이오세 및 제4기에 걸친 해침의 결과로 수평적인 양상의 퇴적층이 만들어졌으며, 현재와 같은 안정된 대륙 연변부 침강분지로 전이되었다.

  • Cupressinocladus sp. found from the upper part of the Jinju Formation of the Shindong Group, Korea is described here based on the newly found leafy shoots. This species is characterized by the branched leafy shoot with decussate scale leaves. The presence of Cupressinocladus in the Jinju Formation indicates that the Early Cretaceous flora-sites in Eastern Eurasia are in a close association with territories of the mixed-type floras. The finding of this species records the first report for the Nakdong flora.

  • 충북 영동 지역에 분포하는 하부 백악계 영동층군에서 식물화석이 많이 산출되었다. 영동 식물군은 이번에 처음 산출된 Pseudofrenelopsis의 자성생식기관과 웅성생식기관을 포함하여 Frenelopsis cf. alata, Pseudofrenelopsis cf. parceramosa, P. cf. varians, Brachyphyllum cf. vulgare, Pagiophyllum sp. 및 Classostrobus sp.의 5속 6종으로 구성된다. 이들은 모두 케이로레피드과에 속한다. 영동 식물군은 전기 백악기 중기-후기에 아열대의 건조한 기후 하에서 번성한 것으로 추정된다.

  • 고흥지역 일대에 분포하는 백악기 화강암을 대상으로 석영내에 발달해 있는 아문미세균열을 측정하여 연구지역의 고응력장을 분석하였다. 5개의 시료(GH-1, GH-3, GH-4, GH-5, GH-8)에서 아문미세균열들의 방향을 측정하여 분석한 결과, GH-1, GH-3, GH-4에서 최대수평주응력은 $N60^{\circ}W$$N70^{\circ}E$, $N20^{\circ}W,\;N50^{\circ}W$의 방향성이 가장 우세하였으며, N-S와 $N30^{\circ}E$의 방향성도 미약하게 나타났다. GH-5와 GH-8시료에서는 최대수평주응력의 방향 $N40^{\circ}E$$N10^{\circ}E$가 가장 우세하였고, $N40^{\circ}W$의 방향성도 미약하게 나타났다 전체적인 최대수평주응력의 방향은 $N60^{\circ}W$가 가장 우세하였으며, $N20^{\circ}W$, $N20^{\circ}E$, $N70^{\circ}E$등의 방향성도 미약하게 나타났다. 이 연구의 결과와 기존의 고등력장에 관한 연구결과를 종합해 볼 때, 백악기 말에서 신생대 3기 초 사이 연구지역에 작용한 최대수평주응력의 방향은 WNW에서 NE로 변화했을 것으로 판단되며, 그 원인으로는 그 당시 동북아시아 일대에 일어났던 복잡한 지구조운동에 기인한 것으로 사료된다.
