The conglomerate including quartzarenite (orthoquartzite) clasts occurs at the various places in Japan. In this paper,
Tetori, Muro and Soma clasts were examined using optical and cathodoluminescence microscopes. Based on the
paleogeography of Paleo-Japan before the opening of the Sea of Japan, the relationships between the clasts and
their provenance were examined.

3. Cathodoluminescence Study

Recently the cathodoluminescence microscope has been used for various subject of the sedimentol-ogy (e.g. Götte and Richter, 2006). With the aid of a technical y improved cathodoluminescence microscope that enables the study of low luminescent minerals, six classes of monocrystal ine former high-quartz are distin-guished and used as a guide to provenance (Matter and Ramseyer, 1985). Furthermore, cathodoluminescence enables detrital grains to be distinguished from syntaxial overgrowths in well cemented sandstones so that the original grain size and roundness parameters can be determined (Matter and Ramseyer, 1985).
Yamagami et al. (2003) proposed three types of quartzarenite clasts (Tetori clasts) col ected from the Tetori Group based on polarization-microscope and cathodoluminescence observation of quartzarenite; Types I, II and III. Type I is composed mainly of detrital quartz grains and rarely contains feldspar ones. Under the cathodoluminescence microscope, the luminescence of quartz grains presents light blue, pale blue and so on, and their origin is assigned to large-scaled plutons. Type II is characterized by the presence of sericite. Although the bluish luminescence is stil observed in the central part of quartz grains, the brownish one can Figure 1. Occurrence of quartzite clasts from Japanese Island be also detectable in its surrounding part. This may be (modified from Tokuoka and Okami, 1979) caused by early recrystallization of quartz grains.
