Bibliography - 1993 Radiolaria 14<br />
sites are assignable to the Quaternary Collosphaera tuberosa<br />
Interval Zone and Amphirhopalum ypsilon Interval Zone. The boundary<br />
between these zones cannot be determined precisely because of the<br />
rarity of zonal markers below surface sediments. Correlations have<br />
been made between <strong>radiolaria</strong>n occurrences and<br />
magnetostratigraphic events elsewhere in the Pacific Ocean, but<br />
similar correlations are difficult at Sites 842 and 843 because of<br />
poor subsurface preservation. Chert samples collected from<br />
intervals in Cores 842B-10 and 842C- 1W have yielded <strong>radiolaria</strong>n<br />
ages of lower Cenomanian to Santonian and lower Cenomanian,<br />
respectively. Radiolarian assemblages in volcanic sand layers in<br />
Sections 6 and 7 of Core 842A-1H (7.5-9.6 mbsf) contain lower<br />
and middle Eocene <strong>radiolaria</strong>ns admixed with abundant Quaternary<br />
faunas. Reworked Eocene <strong>radiolaria</strong>ns appear to be restricted to thin<br />
layers of volcanic sands within the cores, suggesting deposition by<br />
turbidity currents.<br />

Chronostratigraphic assignment of volcanopelagic strata<br />

The chronostratigraphic assignments of <strong>radiolaria</strong>n cherts,<br />
tuffaceous mudstones and volcaniclastic strata (referred to herein<br />
as volcanopelagic succession) overlying the Coast Range ophiolite in<br />
the Coast Ranges of California have been refined on the basis of<br />
additional field data and recent revision of the Pessagno and others<br />
<strong>radiolaria</strong>n biostratigraphic zonation for the Middle and Upper<br />
Jurassic of North America. Revision of this zonation scheme,<br />
accomplished through the integration of <strong>radiolaria</strong>n data with<br />
ammonite biostratigraphy and geochronometry, has enabled close<br />
correlation of <strong>radiolaria</strong>n assemblages in North America, Europe, and<br />
Japan. However, major differences still exist in the stage<br />
assignments of these assemblages among different zonations. The<br />
Pessagno and others scheme is utilized herein to discuss the current<br />
chronostratigraphic assignments at five localities in the Coast<br />
Ranges: Point Sal, Stanley Mountain, Cuesta Ridge, and Llanada in the<br />
southern Coast Ranges, and Black Mountain (Geyser Peak area) in<br />
the northern Coast Ranges of California. Stage assignments for<br />
volcanopelagic successions in these areas range from uppermost<br />
Callovian/lower Oxfordian to upper Tithonian.<br />

Depositional environments of Cretaceous <strong>radiolaria</strong>n cherts<br />
from Andaman-Nicobar Islands, northeastern Indian Ocean.<br />
Marine Geol., 112/1-4, 291-301.<br />
Radiolarian cherts of Cretaceous age are tectonically<br />
associated with pillow basalts, ultramafic rocks and turbidites in the<br />
outer sedimentary arc of the Andaman-Nicobar Islands. These<br />
<strong>radiolaria</strong>n cherts are composed of <strong>radiolaria</strong>n tests, quartz, albitic<br />
feldspar, basaltic rock fragments, montmorillonite and chlorite, and<br />
are classified into three different types: (I) massive tuffaceous<br />
<strong>radiolaria</strong>n claystone, (II) bedded tuffaceous <strong>radiolaria</strong>n claystone,<br />
and (III) bedded <strong>radiolaria</strong>n argillaceous chert. Radiolarian cherts of<br />
Types I and II are similar in composition, characterised by the lower<br />
abundance of SiO2 , total REE (Σ REE) and are rich in Fe203 , MgO, TiO2 and Al203 and trace elements (e.g., Ni, Co, Cr, V, Rb, Sr, Cu and Zr)<br />
as compared to those of Type 111 <strong>radiolaria</strong>n chert. Based on<br />
elemental abundance as well as petrological evidence, it is<br />
suggested that both Types I and 1I cherts have been derived from a<br />
mixed continental and basaltic source. In comparison, Type III chert<br />
seems to have been derived from a continental source.<br />
Low values of Fe20 3 /AI20 3 , Σ REE and weakly positive to<br />
negative Ce anomalies in Types I and II cherts further suggest that<br />
they accumulated close to continental margins as compared to Type<br />
III chert, which is suggested to have accumulated in a relatively<br />
distal oceanic (hemipelagic) environment. It is inferred that these<br />
<strong>radiolaria</strong>n chert sequences, which were originally deposited in<br />
- 98 -<br />
different oceanic environments, were scraped off the subducting<br />
Indian plate, became tectonically juxtaposed, and now constitute a<br />
part of the Andaman-Nicobar ophiolite complex.<br />

Boreal Paleogene <strong>radiolaria</strong>ns of middle Eurasia occur in many<br />
areas including West Siberia, the Urals, the North Caspian<br />
depression, Turgay. the Basin of the Volga River, the Don River and<br />
the Dnieper River. Thirteen Paleogene successive <strong>radiolaria</strong>n<br />
assemblages are recognized. each consisting of 7-80 species.<br />
These assemblages contain species characteristic of the boreal<br />
realm and those typical of tropical and subtropical basins including<br />
some <strong>radiolaria</strong>n index species of the Atlantic. At some stratigraphic<br />
levels, tropical species account for 20-85% of an assemblage. The<br />
age of the <strong>radiolaria</strong>n assemblages can be correlated using<br />
planktonic foraminifers in the North Caspian depression. This article<br />
reviews the <strong>radiolaria</strong>n zonation currently used by Russian workers.<br />

The Csovar Limestone Formation sensu HAAS & KOVACS<br />
(1985) consists of two units different in lithofacies and age. The<br />
lower unit (Csovar Limestone Formation sensu BALOGH, 1981, who<br />
established this formation) consists of dark, bituminous, often<br />
resedimented and graded limestones, cherty limestones, marly<br />
limestones and marls. The surface outcrops of the Csovar Limestone<br />
Formation belong to the Upper Rhaetian. In a borehole also Norian is<br />
present in the Csovar Limestone Formation. The upper unit consists<br />
of bedded, in some parts massive, light-yellowish to light-brownish<br />
micritic limestones and cherty limestones. The upper part contains<br />
thick slump breccias. The upper unit is separated from the Csovar<br />
Limestone Formation s.l. and designated as Varhegy Cherty<br />
Limestone Formation. Its largest part belongs to the Hettangian. The<br />
basal Varhegy Cherty Limestone Formation has yielded<br />
Neohindeodella detrei KOZUR & MOCK, the stratigraphically<br />
youngest conodont species of the world that characterizes probably<br />
the basal Hettangian. The uppermost part of the Varhegy Cherty<br />
Limestone Formation belongs to the Sinemurian.<br />

Uppermost Lamar Limestone of West Texas. Jb. geol.<br />
Bundesanst. (Wien), 136/1, 99-123.<br />
Red deep-water clays from the Sosio Valley area in Western<br />
Sicily contain one of the richest Upper Permian <strong>radiolaria</strong>n faunas of<br />
the world. 4 new genera and 4 new species are described from this<br />
fauna. Conodonts from a calcarenite intercalation near to the richest<br />
<strong>radiolaria</strong>n-bearing sample indicate a Dzhulfian age. The<br />
stratigraphic and paleogeographic importance of this deep-water<br />
<strong>radiolaria</strong>n is discussed. For comparison with the Sicilian Upper<br />
Permian <strong>radiolaria</strong>n fauna, the <strong>radiolaria</strong>n fauna of the uppermost<br />
Lamar Limestone of West Texas was re-investigated. In contrast to<br />
the previous age determinations this fauna is not of Late Capitanian,<br />
but of Dzhulfian age. Follicullus bispinosum n. sp. has been<br />
described from this fauna
