Rapid Exhumation of Subducted Sediments Along an Out-of-Sequence Thrust in the Modern Eastern Nankai Accretionary Prism - Accretionary Prisms and Convergent Margin Tectonics in the Northwest Pacific Basin - page 226

Acknowledgments We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of the captain and his crew of R/V
Yokosuka, and operation team aboard the submersible SHINKAI 6500 during YK05-08 Leg. 2. Ms
Keiko Fujino provided much help with the heat flow measurement data. Professor Tadashi Sato
reviewed an early draft of the manuscript. Part of this study was supported by a Grant-in-Aid from
the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan (B-14740295).
Critical but constructive and thorough reviews of an earlier version of this paper for GEOLOGY
by Tim Byrne, Mike Underwood and John Wakabayashi helped us with our interpretations and
improved both the science and organization of work.
