  1. The composition of sample NZ-PS-2 was determined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) in this study. The composition of the samples from the Shimanto Belt and from Nankai was determined by synchrotron X-ray diffraction-based Rietveld refinement (Rietveld 1969). Mineral contents are given in weight percent. qtz, quartz; fsp, feldspar; mica, muscovite.
