TEXT ON BACK COVER
Radiolaria are a marine siliceous microplankton group that existed since
the Cambrian to the Recent. Fossil Radiolaria were known since the middle
of the last Century and intensely studied at the turn of this Century.
Radiolaria regained the interest of scientists in the late Sixties, amongst
others, through the work of W. R. Riedel to whom this volume is dedicated.
Today, Radiolaria are an important microfossil group used worldwide to date
Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic rocks.
This volume is the result of a collaborative effort of 32 contributors
from 12 countries. It synthesises the systematics, occurrences, and
biochronology of Middle Jurassic (Aalenian) to Lower Cretaceous (early
Aptian) Radiolaria from the Tethys, an ancient low-latitude realm.
The systematics of 151 genera, 424 species, and 41 subspecies is treated in
the alphabetical catalogue section of this volume; 19 species and 6
subspecies are newly described. Radiolarian occurrences are reported from a
total of 1431 samples from 173 localities in the Central Atlantic, Europe,
Russia, the Middle East, Japan, Northern and Central Pacific, and Western
North and Central America. 451 species and subspecies from over 60
localities including 800 samples were used to construct a zonation by means
of Unitary Associations. Each of the 22 new Unitary Association Zones are
defined by characteristic taxa or pairs of taxa that co-occur in the zone.
These zones are correlated to the standard stages by means of other fossils
reported from the same sections, such as ammonites, nannofossils,
calpionellids and dinoflagellates, as well as by means of paleomagnetic and
stable isotope stratigraphy established in the same sections.
