Abstract
The Tertiary limestone bodies represented by Megami Hill and Ogami Hill are distributed in the Kakegawa district in the central portion of Shizuoka Prefecture, these limestone bodies are those originated from coral reefs and are contained in the Megami formation composed of sandstone, mudstone and tuff. However, concerning the limestone bodies of the Megami formation, there are, inter alia, the opinion that they are coral reef sediments on the spot and the opinion that they are foreign rocks, but neither has any firm concrete supporting evidence. In this paper, the sedimentation ages and the sedimentary locations of limestone and sandstone {center dot} mudstone composing the Megami formation were classified and the process, through which limestone was transformed up to its state now observed, was studied. The above study was done by a detailed survey of local rock facies, comparison of age of each rock facies through detection of reference fossils and other measures. A part of the conclusion is shown below: The limestone bodies of the Megami formation is discontinuous with the surrounding sandstone {center dot} mudstone and their strike dip is not harmonious. These limestone bodies are allochthonous rock blocks which collapsed after their sedimentation and mixed with the
