of unit-1 (US-1), showing erosional surface.<br />

The seismic stratal units in the Ulleung Basin and Korea Plateau are characterized by<br />

repetitions of stratified and chaotic (or transparent) facies units (Figure 10). These units are<br />

grouped into four unit sets (US-1, -2, -3, and -4 in ascending order), based on large-scale<br />

anticlinal folding structures and an erosional truncation surface (Figure 11). The unit sets in<br />

the plateau are assigned to early to middle Miocene, middle to late Miocene, early to middle<br />

Pliocene, and late Pliocene to Quaternary ages in ascending order, respectively. Within the<br />

uppermost unit set US-4, the Pliocene-Pleistocene boundary is clearly recognized in seismic<br />

profiles.<br />
