蓬莱山はマグマからできた流紋岩(花崗斑岩)からなります。秦の始皇帝の命を受けた徐福の一行が、蓬莱山を目指して上陸したと伝わります。古代より神が降臨する霊山として敬意を払われてきました。熊野川に面した古くからの祭祀の場で、南麓に阿須賀神社があります。
Horaisan consists of rhyolite (granodiorite) made of magma. It is said that Xu Fu's(徐福） party, who was ordered by Qin Shi Huang(始皇帝）, landed on Horaisan. Since ancient times, it has been respected as a sacred mountain where God descends. It is an ancient ritual site facing the Kumano River, and there is Asuka Shrine at the southern foot of the mountain.

南紀熊野ジオパークで最も古い竜神付加体が分布します。マグマの活動に伴う熱水変質によって竜神付加体の岩石が硬くなり、峡谷が形成される要因のひとつになりました。和歌山県、奈良県、三重県の3県境が交わるところです。志古−瀞峡間をジェット船が航行しています。
The oldest Ryujin accretionary prism is distributed in Nanki Kumano Geopark. The hydrothermal alteration associated with magma activity hardened the rocks of the Ryujin accretionary prism, which became one of the factors that formed the canyon. This is where the borders of Wakayama, Nara, and Mie prefectures meet. A jet ship is sailing between Shiko and Torokyo.

The Phoenix Fold Those folded rocks consist of sandstones or mudstones. As you know, they are formed by sands and muds that flowed form a river mouth to deep sea ground and piled up with taking long-long times to be firm, and finally become rocks. Those rocks are called sedimentary rocks and they are normally flat unless they are having something strong pressure. This Phoenix Fold shows us unusual shape. Why? Because they had enormous pressure by submarine volcanic activity and crustal activity, before they have been firm in the deep sea and they forced to bend like present shapes. It is said that a incident occured about 30 million years ago. This bed has gradually lifted up by the tectonic movement and come up to the surface. This site is very famous for us to observe beautiful shape of the fold. Please imagine how the earth has made dynamic activity, seeing this Phoenix Fold.

・フェニックス褶曲は、この写真のように、地層が折り畳まれた奇妙な姿をしています。
どうしてこのような地形ができたのでしょうか？
・地球は１０数枚のプレートで覆われていることはご存知と思いますが、この約 80km 沖の
深い海底で、そのうち海のプレートと陸のプレートが衝突しています。この図とアニメーシ

Hello, welcome to our Nanki-Kumano Geopark.
My name is Jimbo Keishi. I am very glad to have a chance to guide you today.
Please call me Keishi.
Today, we are going to visit one of would-famous geosite Phenix Fold by boat.
Before starting our tour, I would like to explain key points because engine noise would disturb
my words.
Phenix Fold has such curious figure as this photo shows. Foe what made such a figure?
As you know, the earth surface covered 10 or more plates. At the point of about 80km off the
coast, two plates, one is continental plate, and the other is sea plate, conflicts under deep
seabed.
Please look this figure and animation. At the result of very longstanding conflict, the sand and
mud deposit on the deep seabed had been run upon continent and folded. That is the reason
why Phenix Fold was made.
The name Phenix is come from near place.
Well, let's start our tour. Thank you.
高池の虫喰岩 Mushikui-Iwa Rock
<日本語説明>
蜂の巣のような不思議なかたちの岩ですね。地元では虫が食べたような岩、虫喰岩と呼んでいます。何がこんなかたちにしたのでしょうね? ハチでしょうか?魔物でしょうか?
この岩は火成岩の一種で、およそ1400万年前に生じた巨大カルデラ(熊野カルデラ)の南のヘリの大きな岩壁の一部なのです。この岸壁は東西約20kmあり世界最大級の岩脈といわれています。熊野カルデラの火山灰によって、世界の気温は10度も下がったといわれています。岩脈の端に、あとから行く一枚岩があります。
岩の上の方を見てください。小屋のようなものが見えますが、 人の住居ではなく、今から200年近く前にここを訪れた修験者が人々の幸せを願って木の仏像を納めた小屋です。今は仏像は岩の下に移されています。

Look! What a fantastic honeycomb rock ! People call this “worm-eaten rock”. What made such a fantastic shape ? Bees or monsters?
This rock is a kind of igneous rock, and a part of long wall of huge caldera (Kumano-caldera) that appeared about 14 million years ago.
This wall is said to be the largest rock dike in the world. It is said the volcanic ash from Kumano- caldera would lower world temperature about 10 degrees centigurade.
We will visit the famous rock Ichimai-Iwa Monolith later. It located at the west end of the dike.
Please look up this rock, you would find something like a hut. That is not a hut for human residence but for buddha statues.
They were made by a visiting yamabushi(ascetic trainer) praying for people's happiness about 200 years ago. Now, the buddha statues were moved on the ground, so we can see them.
付加体 (現地研修会より)
下にスライドします。 深海で作られた地層が陸地を作ります。
大陸プレートと海洋プレートの移動により、さまざまな砂と堆積物が押し合わされ、紀伊半島を構成する3つの陸塊の1つを形成しました。 これは付加体と呼ばれます。
水は山に落ち、地面に吸収されます。 雨水は地面から湧き出て、山を蛇行して新しい川を形成します。 これらの川は堆積物を運び、堆積してデルタを形成します。
付加体
Sliding down. Land made from deep sea. Made from Shallow sea
Because of the shifting of the continental and oceanic plates, various sand and sediments were pushed together, forming one of the three land masses that make up the Kii peninsula. This is called an Accretionary Prism.
Water falls in the mountains and is absorbed into the ground. The rainwater wells up from the ground, and snakes down the mountain, forming new rivers. These rivers carry sediments, which accumulate to form deltas.
江戸時代中頃に、白鷺が足の傷を治しているのを見て発見されたと伝えられている温泉地です。白浜温泉と同じく、枯木灘弧状岩脈の北部延長上に位置し、田辺層群上部層から湧出しています。
It is a hot spring resort that was discovered in the middle of the Edo period when Shirasagi healed a wound on his leg. Like Shirahama hot springs, it is located on the northern extension of Karekinada arc-shaped dike and springs from the upper layer of the Tanabe Group.

前弧海盆に堆積した田辺層群の上部層が分布します。見草崎には斜交層理やリップルマークなど、浅海に堆積した地層特有の堆積構造を観察することができます。また貝、クジラ、カニなどの化石が発見されています。港の対岸には、かつて地層の中を泥が数100m上昇した泥ダイアピルを観察することもできます。
The upper layers of the Tanabe Group deposited in the forearc basin are distributed. In Mikusazaki, you can observe the sedimentary structures peculiar to the strata deposited in the shallow sea, such as cross-bedding and ripple marks. In addition, fossils such as shellfish, whales, and crabs have been discovered. On the opposite bank of the harbor, you can also observe the mud diapir, which once had mud rising hundreds of meters in the stratum.

権現崎では、田辺層群上部層に泥質な下部層が貫入した泥岩岩脈が発達します。田辺層群の形成当時、地震などをきっかけに地下深くの泥が液状化し、上の地層の中に割り込んでできた泥ダイアピルから延びている岩脈と考えられています。波食棚から海食崖にかけて、泥岩岩脈を立体的に観察できる貴重な場所です。
In Gongenzaki, mudstone dikes with muddy lower layers intruding into the upper layers of the Tanabe Group develop. At the time of the formation of the Tanabe Group, mud deep underground was liquefied in the wake of an earthquake, and it is thought to be a dike extending from the mud diapir that cut into the upper strata. It is a valuable place where you can observe mudstone dikes three-dimensionally from the wave-cut platform to the sea cliff.

You can see the uncorfomity between the Otonashi River prism and the Kumano Group. The Kumano Group is a stratum deposited in the forearc basin formed on the Otonashi River accretionary prism, and there is a time gap of more than 30 million years between them. The Otonashi River accretionary prism is a muddy alternating layer, and the Kumano Group is a conglomerate / sandstone layer. There is an outcrop along the forest road connecting the villages of Sasabi and Kuju.

The geological boundary of rhyolite (granodiorite) formed from the Kumano Group and the magma that penetrates it is exposed. It is a sheet-shaped igneous rock vein formed by magma penetrating at a low angle. Columnar joints develop on the rock wall of the Kumano River (Mt. Yotsume) due to the contraction of magma during cooling, forming a characteristic landscape in the Kumano River canyon. It is the southernmost body of Omine granitic rocks distributed along the Omine Mountains.

志古谷が熊野川と合流するところある社殿のない神社です。前弧海盆に堆積した熊野層群の上部層の厚い砂岩層が崩壊してできた、山腹の巨岩群を祀っています。熊野炭田の石炭層がずれていることから、この付近を東西方向に断層が通ると推定されていて、この断層に沿って崩壊が起った可能性があります。
It is a shrine without a shrine building where Shiko valley joins the Kumano River. It enshrines the giant rocks on the hillside formed by the collapse of the thick sandstone layer in the upper part of the Kumano Group deposited in the forearc basin. Since the coal seam of the Kumano coalfield is displaced, it is estimated that a fault will pass in the east-west direction around this area, and it is possible that a collapse occurred along this fault.

熊野層群上部層に挟まれる厚さ20cm前後の石炭層です。石炭は金属光沢を放つので、他の地層と容易に識別できます。この石炭層は、近くにあった三熊炭鉱が採炭していた石炭層ですが、その間は断層で切られています。この地域には熊野炭田の炭鉱が７ｶ所稼業していました。
It is a coal layer with a thickness of about 20 cm sandwiched between the upper layers of the Kumano Group. Coal has a metallic luster and is easily distinguishable from other formations. This coal layer is a coal layer that was mined by the nearby Mikuma Coal Mine, but the area between them is cut by a fault. Seven coal mines in the Kumano coalfield were operating in this area.
