The Toyofusa formation in the southernmost part of the BOSO Peninsula is characterized mainly by mixed fossil biocoenoses and variable lithologic facies with tuffaceous sediments and intraformational conglomerates., These were examined genetically in relation to diastrophism and the sedimentary environment of the formation., Conclusions are as follows: 1 The Toyofusa formation accumulated in a part of a geosynclinal trough., Subsidence of the floor continued in the south and compensatory upheaval in the north of this part of the geosyncline during the epoch., 2., Clastic material for the formation was supplied from the north and west of this area., 3., A warm current comparable to the Kuroshio of today, ran near the rocky shore., There was also an under current of low temperature comparable to the present Oyashio under current., 4., Silt and sand rhythmically accumulated on the deep sea floor of the trough., Occasionally shell-bearing tuffaceous coarse sands with siltstone blocks of various sizes slid down the slope and were intercalated in the above-mentioned alternation., 5., These conditions and mode of sedimentation continued during almost the whole period of accumulation of the formation., 6., The sea in which the Toyofusa formation was deposited finally disappeared during the Plio-Pleistocene tectonic activity of the Tanzawa orogensis.,
