| Summary: | Late Cenozoic strata distributed along the coastal region of the Sea of Japan are a good recorder of transgression and regression events in the Paleo-Sea of Japan. The main events are recognized from many stratigraphical horizons of Niigata late Cenozoic formations. They are early/middle Miocene transgression; 2) latest Miocene / early Pliocene events; 3) late Pliocene to early Pleistocene transgressions and regressions; 4) middle to late Pleistocene transgressions and regressions; and 5) Holocene It is thought that the events were related to global sealevel changes, crustal movements and local landform changes.
