Notes:
Zircon fission track dating and track length analysis in the high-grade part of the Asemigawa region of the Sanbagawa belt demonstrates a simple cooling history passing through the partial annealing zone at 63.2 ± 5.8 (2 σ) Ma. Combining this age with previous results of phengite and amphibole K–Ar and 40Ar/39Ar dating gives a cooling rate of between 6 and 13 °C Myr−1, which can be converted to a maximum exhumation rate of 0.7 mm year−1 using the known shape of the P–T path. This is an order of magnitude lower than the early part of the exhumation history. In contrast, zircon fission track analyses in the low-grade Oboke region show that this area has undergone a complex thermal history probably related to post-orogenic secondary reheating younger than c. 30 Ma. This event may correlate with the widespread igneous activity in south-west Japan around 15 Ma. The age of subduction-related metamorphism in the Oboke area is probably considerably older than the generally accepted range of 77–70 Ma.
