Overview

Excerpt from Journal of the College of Science, Imperial University of Tokyo, Vol. 44 The Upper Musashino Formation which consists of horizontal interstratified layers of clays, sands and gravels overlaid only by a brown unstratified loam generally believed to be Pleistocene in age, though without any palaeontological evidence, forms a low but ex tensive plateau around Tokyo whose height above the sea-level varies from a little over ten metres near the sea-coast up to more than a hundred in the interior. This plateau is variously dissect ed by valleys along whose sides it often shows steep escarpments fairly well exposing the rock-layers of which it is composed. In these escarpments there is frequently a sand-layer more or less filled with fossils which are mainly Mollusca, and therefore usually known under the name of shell-layer which is found, not only in and around the city of Tokyo, but also in Kazusa and Shimose.
