Abstract

이 논문에서는 경주시 양남면에 분포하는 해발고도 약 45 m의 수렴단층 노두 해안단구 퇴적층의 형성시기를 추정하기 위하여, 퇴적층을 구성하고 있는 석영에 대한 단일입자 OSL(Single Grain Optically Stimulated Luminescence) 연대측정을 실시하였다. 실험에 사용된 총 1200개의 석영입자 중, 93개의 입자가 연대측정에 적합한 OSL 신호특성을 보였으며, 이들의 등가선량은 50-610 Gy까지 넓은 분포를 보인다. 이 자료를 중심연대모델(Central Age Model)과 최소연대모델(Minimum Age Model)을 이용하여 분석하면, 각각 <TEX>$83{\pm}4ka$</TEX>와 <TEX>$60^{+3}{_{-7}}ka$</TEX>의 연대가 도출되지만, 이들 연대는 MIS 5a시기로 보고된 기존의 제2해안단구의 OSL 연대와 층서적으로 불일치한다. 단일입자 OSL 분석결과들을 혼합연대모델(Finite Mixture Model)에 적용하면, 분석된 입자들 중 <TEX>$6{\pm}4%$</TEX>의 석영입자가 MIS 7의 퇴적시기 <TEX>$194{\pm}24ka$</TEX>)를 지시함을 알 수 있다. 결론적으로, 수렴단층 노두 해안단구 퇴적층이 MIS 7 시기에 형성되었을 가능성을 배제할 수 없으며, 이 퇴적층은 일반적으로 적용되는 다입자 OSL(multiple grain OSL) 연대측정법을 적용하기에 적합하지 않은 시료로 판단된다. In this paper, we report new OSL ages of the marine terrace sediments at Suryum fault site, using single grains of quartz, and briefly discuss their chronological implications on the timing of terrace formation along the southeastern coast of Korea. Of 1200 grains measured, 93 quartz grains were found to have OSL properties suitable for dating, the equivalent dose (<TEX>$D_e$</TEX>) values of which varied significantly, ranging from 50 Gy to 610 Gy with the overdispersion of <TEX>$30{\pm}4%$</TEX>. Applied to the Central Age Model (CAM) and Minimum Age Model (MAM), these quartz grains showed the OSL ages of <TEX>$83{\pm}4ka$</TEX> and <TEX>$60^{+3}{_{-7}}ka$</TEX>, respectively, both of which are stratigraphically inconsistent with the previously reported OSL ages of lower <TEX>$2^{nd}$</TEX> terrace (MIS 5a; ~80 ka). However, Finite Mixture Model (FMM) revealed that a small fraction of the measured quartz grains (<TEX>$6{\pm}4%$</TEX>) were of the ages (<TEX>$194{\pm}24ka$</TEX>) corresponding to MIS 7. Conclusively, based on single grain OSL ages, it would be prudent not to exclude the possibility that the marine terrace sediments at Suryum fault site have formed during MIS 7. Further, our single grain OSL ages imply that multiple grain(single aliquot) OSL dating methods are not applicable to the marine sediments at Suryum fault site.
