Thick Miocene sediments are distributed in the Ishikari-Teshio Belt along the western side of the Kitami mountain range in the north and the Hidaka mountain range in the south. In the southern part of this belt, the Miocene sequences are divided into the Furanui, Ukekoi, and Motokanbe Formations, in ascending order. The Furanui Formation (early Middle Miocene) consists mainly of greenish gray sandstones and mudstones The Ukekoi Formation (Middle Miocene) composed mainly of alternating beds of sandstone and mudstone and conglomerates, attains a maximum thickness of about 2,100 meters, which is correlated with the Kawabata Formation in the Ishikari district and the Kotanbetsu Formation in the Haboro district. The Motokanbe Formation (Late Miocene) consists mainly of hard shales and subordinate intercalated conglomerates. The Ukekoi Formation is subdivided lithologically into the U_1, U_2, and U_3 members in ascending order. The U_1 and U_3 are composed mainly of alternating beds of sandstone and mudstone with Bouma sequences, and the U_2 member consists of coarse clastic sediments with grading and imbrication structures developed well in the conglomerates. These facies are of turbidites and their related sediments. In the southern part of the studied area, these three members change laterally into the U4 member composed of alternating beds of sandstone and mudstone. The distribution pattern of these members can be assingned to the submarine fau environmental models of WALKER and MUTTI (1973) or WALKER (1978). The U_2 member is of the upper fan channel-fill deposits in the northern part of this area and of mid-fan deposits in the central part. The U_4 member in the southern part corresponds to the lower fan depoosits. The upper fan main channnel contains numerous smaller channels 10 meters or more deep and some 100 meters wide. These channels are filled with coarse clastic sediments transported from the north. On the basis of the above-mentioned discussion with the examination of the conglomerates, it is concluded that the Middle Miocene Ukekoi Formation is of submarine fan deposits transported far from the northern part of the Hidaka and Kamuikotan Belts, e. g. the Uenshiri Horst, while the Upper Miocene Motokanbe Formathionis of fan delta deposits derived from the eastern adjacent hinterland of the Hidaka Metamorphic Belt.
