Karashima island | Nakajima Y., Schoch R. R. (2011) | Inai - Hiraiso | Bando (1970) originally assigned the Hiraiso Fm. to the Griesbachian, later it was assigned to the Smithian by Nakazawa et al. (1994). Reidentification of Bando's ammonite as Neocolumbites and discovery of Tirolites in the lower part of the formation suggests a Spathian age for the Hiraiso Formation (Shigeta & Nakajima, 2017). | sandstone | 251.3 - 247.2 Ma Early/Lower Triassic |
