range between ca. 3 and 21 x 10 4 shells m -2 , values that are at one<br />
or more magnitudes lower than flux rates observed at sites in the<br />
tropical and northern high-latitude ocean. Significant lateral<br />
transport of <strong>radiolaria</strong>ns was documented during austral summer in<br />
the Bransfleld Strait by a factor of 10 Increase of the <strong>radiolaria</strong>n<br />
flux in the lower portion of the water column and the species<br />
composition trapped in deeper waters.<br />
Radiolarian assemblages associated with pelagic and neritic<br />
environments characterized by typical Antarctic taxa (Antarctissa<br />
spp.) and a group of species with bipolar distribution (e. g.<br />
Plectacantha oikiskos, Phormacantha hystrix), respectively, are<br />
distinguished. While the signal of polycystine <strong>radiolaria</strong>ns is<br />
relatively well recorded in the sediments, the shells of phaeodarians,<br />
which were observed at flux rates of up to 1x10 3 shells m -2 day -1 in<br />
the upper portion of the water column, are almost completely<br />
dlssolved during settling in the water column.<br />

This study gives a first inventory of <strong>radiolaria</strong>n taxa collected<br />
with sediment traps in different areas of the Southern Ocean (Drake<br />
Passage, Powell Basin and Bransfield Strait). It includes 66 taxa or<br />
taxa groups of which 46 were already described. Two previously<br />
described species groups and 20, yet undescribed, taxa are<br />
documented. The name Protocystis bicornis (Haecker) is replaced by<br />
P. spinosus as it is a later homonym of P. bicornis (Borgert). The<br />
occurrence pattern of the <strong>radiolaria</strong>n taxa indicates distinct<br />
differences in the species composition between neritic environments<br />
(Bransfield Strait and Powell Basin) and pelagic, open ocean<br />
conditions (Drake Passage).<br />

Res., 13/5-6, 445-452.<br />
The Lower Cretaceous rhythmic sequences (marls and marly<br />
limestones) of the pelagic domain in the Betic Cordillera (Subbetic<br />
Zone) provide optimal conditions for integrated biostratigraphic<br />
scales based on different fossil groups. In this paper we present a<br />
preliminary study of the stratigraphic distribution of different<br />
species of ammonites, planktonic foraminifera, calcareous<br />
nannofossils and <strong>radiolaria</strong> recorded principally in one Barremian-<br />
Aptian section in Jaen (Andalusia, southern Spain).<br />
For the ammonites, which are present only in the Barremian and<br />
probably in the lowermost Aptian, it appears reasonable to use the<br />
zonation proposed by Busnardo (1984) for SE France. Planktonic<br />
foraminifera can be differentiated in seven zones (Hedbergella<br />
sigali, Globigerinelloides blowi, Hedbergella trocoidea, Leupoldina<br />
cabri, Globigerinelloides algerianus, Planomalina cheniourensis and<br />
Ticinella bejaouaensis) for the Barremian-Aptian interval. Four<br />
interval zones (Lithraphidites bollii, Micrantholithus hoschulzii,<br />
Hayesites irregularis and Rhagodiscus angustus) can be<br />
distinguished according to the vertical distribution of the calcareous<br />
nannofossil species. Finally, two <strong>radiolaria</strong>n assemblages can be<br />
identified, a lower one for the Barremian-Lower Aptian and an upper<br />
one for the Upper Aptian. Correlations between the scales used in<br />
this paper are established.<br />

Detailed evidence of Late Jurassic Radiolaria is presented from<br />
the Kowhai Point Siltstone in the Murihiku terrane, North Island, New<br />
Zealand. Nineteen <strong>radiolaria</strong>n species including Acaeniotyle<br />
diaphorogona, Pantanellium riedeli, Pseudocrucella cf. sanfilippoae,<br />
Hsuum maxwelli, etc. are identified in an ammonite-bearing<br />
- 74 -<br />
calcareous concretion. The estimated age of this fauna is<br />
Kimmeridgian based upon recent studies of dinoflagellates and<br />
molluscs (Davey, 1987; Helby et al, 1988). The Murihiku fauna is<br />
similar in composition to coeval faunas from Tethyan, Japanese and<br />
North American sequences and shows a strong cosmopolitan<br />
affinity. A comparison of the Murihiku <strong>radiolaria</strong>ns with the coeval<br />
Waipapa terrane fauna of an origin in the Southern Hemisphere high<br />
latitudes (Spörli and Aita, 1988) gives significant evidence in<br />
clarifying the paleobiogeography of Mesozoic Radiolaria.<br />

From the terranes sutured to the New Zealand Gondwana margin<br />
in mid-Cretaceous time, the Murihiku, Waipapa, Torlesse and Mata<br />
River terranes have yielded tectonically and paleogeographically<br />
significant <strong>radiolaria</strong>n faunas. A late Jurassic fauna from the<br />
Murihiku forearc terrane is more cosmopolitan than coeval faunas<br />
from the Waipapa.<br />
Faunas from the terranes east of the Murihiku, which all show<br />
evidence of accretion tectonics, can be subdivided into ocean floor<br />
assemblages and assemblages of terrigenous clastic deposits.<br />
Waipapa ocean floor assemblages are typically Tethyan while the<br />
terrigenous clastic assemblages are non-Tethyan, possibly of<br />
southern hemisphere high latitude origin. Ocean floor assemblages<br />
show the same eastward younging trends, opposed to the westward<br />
sedimentological younging, due to imbrication, as do the<br />
assemblages of the terrigenous clastics, but are always a few tens<br />
of million years older.<br />
Radiolarians from ophiolites (Tangihua Volcanics and Matakaoa<br />
Volcanics) indicate that significant portions of the ocean floor<br />
obducted onto New Zealand in late Oligocene to earliest Miocene<br />
time were of Late Cretaceous to Early Tertiary age.<br />

Radiolarians occur at five Leg 126 sites. Well-preserved<br />
<strong>radiolaria</strong>ns were recovered from Miocene and Pliocene through<br />
Holocene sections. The results of this study may help to fill the<br />
informational gap on Quaternary <strong>radiolaria</strong>n distribution at midlatitudes<br />
in the western Pacific. Radiolarian preservation is<br />
discontinuous, and, although present in Oligocene sections,<br />
specimens are poorly preserved.<br />

Radiolarians provide important age constraints on geologically<br />
complex strata in the New England Orogen of eastern Australia.<br />
Several terranes interpreted as subduction complexes were undated<br />
prior to <strong>radiolaria</strong>n studies. Radiolarian faunas indicate that the<br />
Djungati terrane is significantly younger than the previously inferred<br />
Ordovician to Silurian age range. Basalt-chert successions in the<br />
Djungati terrane developed during the Silurian to Late Devonian in an<br />
environment which was far from the influence of terrigenous<br />
sedimentation. Radiolarians from tuffs within overlying arc-derived<br />
volcaniclastic sequences constrain the timing of tectonic assembly<br />
of the terrane at a convergent margin to the latest Devonian-Early<br />
Carboniferous. The extensive, but previously undated, Anaiwan<br />
terrane also contains <strong>radiolaria</strong>ns which indicate a latest Devonian<br />
to Early Carboniferous age for siliceous oceanic sediments. These<br />
sediments were accreted into a subduction complex. Volcaniclastic<br />
sediments within this subduction complex contain <strong>radiolaria</strong>ns which<br />
indicate that it developed during the Early Carboniferous.<br />
Radiolarians in the Willowie Creek beds provide the first age<br />
constraints (Late Devonian) for another lithotectonic entity, the<br />
Yugambal terrane, which is located along the eastern edge of the<br />
southern New England orogen. Many of the recently determined<br />
<strong>radiolaria</strong>n ages are at variance with age estimates used to develop<br />
models for the tectonic development of the orogen. These new age<br />
data require major reappraisal of models. Detailed analysis of the
