Hey,
Close to me is this area, and to me it looks like it has been extremly deformed to the north.
And i wonder what you think about this kind of geological situation, and maybe someone has a idea where the best areas are for searching gold.
I will go there next weekend and check as many places as possible for placer gold. I hope to find something but according to Japanese history books there has never been a Gold mine. The next gold mines from this position are like 100km.
The black dots without a number are active fault zones and a small band of about 50m with intrusive rock, i think the lines were straight in the past but because of the deformation the middle part has been bend upwards, it looks kinda funny.
Everything is according to Japanese sources.
Material with the same colour is the same kind of material.
The number 1 is: No infos about the type of material, just that it was at the bottom of the sea and was lifted upward because of a Accretionary wedge.
The number 2 is: Its roughly 200 million years gold and some kind of glass related Not many infos avaible)
The number 3 is: Its the small band of intrusive rock that cooled out relativ shallow under the surface.
The number 4 is: Its metamorphic rock that was mudstone before it was deformed to the current type of rock.
The number 5 is: Its sandstone that was before at the bottom of the sea and had an uplift because of a Accretionary wedge .
The number 6 and 7: Both parts look like they have been connected before the whole mountain range pushed between it.
Its basalt that has been formed through volcanic eruptions at the bottom of the sea.
There are many kind of straight lines, this are fault lines with a lot of movement.
The whole area has no active or inactive past volcanoes.
Thank you very much, I hope someone knows a lot about this kind of things.
