continue through Jurassic and Cretaceous sections. All of these<br />

Mesozoic siliceous deposits are of marine origin. Generally three<br />

lithologic associations with chert are recognized in the Mesozoic<br />

sections. 1. the Porphyrite-chert assemblage of Middle-Late Triassic<br />

age, 2. the Diabase-chert Formation of Middle-Late Jurassic age, and<br />

3. carbonate complexes of Middle Triassic to Danian ages. The first<br />

two lithologic associations are connected with the breakup of the<br />

Dinaridic plate at the end of Early Triassic, which was followed by<br />

hybrid volcanic activity with the greatest production of volcanic<br />

rocks in the Ladinian. At that time an oceanic region developed, and<br />

existed to the Late Jurassic. Bedded chert formed on transitional and<br />

oceanic crust. They formed in different parts of this oceanic basin<br />

by different depositional mechanisms. Commonly, olistoliths of the<br />

porphyrite-chert assemblage occur in the Diabase-chert Formation.<br />

Siliceous deposits associated with carbonate complexes occur in<br />

different parts of Yugoslavia, but as an example of this lithologic<br />

association we discuss the occurrences in the Budva zone,<br />

Montenegin Littoral. The Budva zone represents a depositional<br />

trough on thinned continental crust situated between two carbonate<br />

platforms. The sedimentation of carbonate rocks with bedded chert<br />

took place mostly on the slopes, beginning with subtidal deposition in<br />

the latest Ladinian and evolving later into open-shelf deposition.<br />

Radiolarian-rich siliceous facies of the Middle and Upper<br />

Jurassic were studied in four stratigraphic sequences located in<br />

different areas of the Middle Subbetic Zone. Two stratigraphic units<br />

are recognized. Calcareous radiolarites of the middle-upper<br />

Callovian and siliceous mudstones and marls of the uppermost<br />

Callovian to Oxfordian. The <strong>radiolaria</strong>n assemblages recovered from<br />

the four sections permit to recognize the <strong>radiolaria</strong>n zones A0, Al,<br />

A2, B, C1 and C2 of Baumgartner (1987) in the upper Bajocian to<br />

lower Tithonian. Ammonite faunas recovered from interbedded<br />

calcareous layers allow for more precise ties of the <strong>radiolaria</strong>n<br />

zones to the stages.<br />

In this paper we establish the biostratigraphy by means of<br />

Radiolaria and calcareous nannoplankton of the siliceous materials<br />

from three stratigraphic sequences located in different Middle<br />

Subbetic areas. The above cited series contain ammonite fauna in<br />

the under and/or overlying levels to the siliceous materials, and<br />

therefore the datations are simplified. For the interval uppermost<br />

Bajocian-lowermost Kimmeridgian we can recognize the <strong>radiolaria</strong>n<br />

zones Al, A2, B and C1, which has been established by Baumgartner<br />

(1987) in the Western Tethys. Calcareous nannoplankton permits to<br />

distinguish two different intervals: a lower, Bajocian to Lower<br />

Callovian age and other one Callovian to Oxfordian.<br />

Microfossil assemblage from the Late Jurassic to Early<br />

Cretaceous Nikoro Pelagic Sediments, Tokoro Belt,<br />

Hokkaido, Japan. Mem. Fac. Sci., Kyushu Univ., Series D<br />

(Earth planet. Sci.), 27/3, 193-214.<br />

The Tokoro Belt in Hokkaido constitutes one of the major<br />

ophiolitic belts in the Japanese Islands. In order to clarify the origin<br />

of the Tokoro ophiolitic rocks which are represented by the Nikoro<br />

Group, new micropaleontologic data of the Nikoro pelagic sediments<br />

are presented in this paper as regards <strong>radiolaria</strong>ns, calcareous<br />

nannofossils and foraminifers. The results show that (1) the age of<br />

the Nikoro Group ranges from the Kimmeridgian to the early Albian,<br />

and (2) the Nikoro pelagic rocks were deposited in a seamount<br />

environment near an oceanic ridge in the paleoequatorial productive<br />

region, where the paleodepth was about 1000 m and above the CCD.<br />

Xiphostylidae Haeckel and Parvivaccidae, n. fam.,<br />

(Radiolaria) from the North American Jurassic.<br />

Micropaleontology, 35/3, 193-255.<br />

This report deals with the Parvivaccidae, n. fam. and a revision<br />

of the Xiphostylidae Haeckel. Both of these spumellarian families are<br />

- 38 -<br />

unique in that they possess cortical shells consisting of two distinct<br />

fused layers of latticed meshwork. Three new genera and twentynine<br />

new species are described from the Xiphostylidae Haeckel.<br />

Emended definitions are presented for Triactoma Ruest, Tripocyclia<br />

Haeckel, and Xiphostylus Haeckel. Two new genera and two new<br />

species are described under the Parvivaccidae. Only Jurassic<br />

xiphostylid and parvivaccid taxa are figured herein. Range,<br />

occurrence, and relative abundance of the more important taxa are<br />

shown in the text-figures.<br />

Flocculation of siliceous detritus on the sea floor of a deep<br />

Pacific seamount. Deep-Sea Res. Part A, oceanogr. Res. Pap.,<br />

36/12, 1841-1861.<br />

A benthic layer of flocculated material, which was centimetres<br />

thick in and around biogenic sediment structures on the carbonatecovered<br />

cap of Magellan Rise (7° N, 177° W; equatorial Pacific),<br />

consisted of a meshwork of delicate and spiny forms of <strong>radiolaria</strong>ns<br />

including phaeodarians. Like phytodetritus, patches of degraded floc<br />

appear to be disrupted on relatively short time scales by surface<br />

deposit-feeding megafauna. This destruction is through ingestion of<br />

surface sediment particles and erasure of sediment structures<br />

serving as benthic particle maps.<br />

history of the Pliocene Bianco section, Calabria, southern<br />

105.<br />

An integrated micropaleontological and geochemical study was<br />

carried out on the Pliocene-age Bianco section located in Calabria,<br />

southern Italy. This section is somewhat unique for the Pliocene of<br />

the Mediterranean region in that it contains abundant calcareous and<br />

siliceous microfossils. Based on the biostratigraphic findings, it<br />

ranges in age from approximately 3.7-3.0 Ma. The Bianco section is<br />

composed of marly mudstones intercalated with diatomites, with the<br />

diatomites being particularly common in the upper 50 m of the<br />

section (above 3.1 Ma).<br />

The diatomites contain an abundant benthic foraminiferal<br />

assemblage and have a low organic carbon content indicating that<br />

bottom waters were fairly well-oxygenated during their deposition.<br />

Faunal and floral indicators suggest a cooling of surface waters in<br />

this region at 3.1 Ma. The diatom assemblages within the Bianco<br />

diatomites are very similar to those living in the Gulf of California,<br />

suggesting an upwelling origin for these silica-rich units. A model is<br />

proposed which attributes diatomite formation to upwelling induced<br />

by climatically controlled changes in local hydrography.<br />

observed in the siliceous debris-rich calcareous ooze of south<br />

equatorial Pacific. Quartz and feldspars of detrital origin are also<br />

found in the sediment.<br />
