Five New Eocene Radiolarian Species from the Norwegian Sea

Five new species of Radiolaria, two spumellarians and three nassellarians, are described from an Eocene deep-sea sediment core from the Norwegian Sea. The vertical distribution of three of these five new species, Spongopyle spiralis, Lophocorys norvegiensis and Theocalyptra tetracantha, define two d...

Description
Summary:Five new species of Radiolaria, two spumellarians and three nassellarians, are described from an Eocene deep-sea sediment core from the Norwegian Sea. The vertical distribution of three of these five new species, Spongopyle spiralis, Lophocorys norvegiensis and Theocalyptra tetracantha, define two distinct faunal zones within the Late Eocene.
