Stratigraphic cross-section and sequence-stratigraphic classification of the Kokumoto Formation. The oxygen isotopic data are from Pickering et al. (1999) and are adjusted to stratigraphic section 7. The inset map shows the locations of the measured sections. Ku6–Ka2.6 denote the coding of tephra key beds. The filled red circle on the right side of section 2 indicates a stratigraphic horizon approximately 110 cm above the Byakubi tephra key bed (Byk) (Byk-E in Suganuma et al. 2018) that is inferred to represent the Lower–Middle Pleistocene Subseries boundary. See Fig. S1 for the stratigraphic positions of SB12 and SB13 within the Kazusa Group
