Late Miocene polycystine radiolarians of the Japan Sea (IODP Exp. 346 Site U1425)

Abstract

In this study, we have illustrated the 84 species/species group of polycystine radiolarians, which were commonly encountered in the upper Miocene sediments at the Site U1425 of the IntegratedOcean Drilling Program (IODP) in the Japan Sea. The micro-photographs of these species/species group are illustrated in 9 plates.
