Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Radiolarian

Magnification: 100x, bright field (negative image), stacked image

Site: Barbados

Age: approx. 32-35 million years (late Eocene - early Oligocene)

Preparation: Andreas Drews

Radiolarians are unicellulars of diameter 0.1–0.2 mm that produce intricate mineral skeletons, typically with a central capsule dividing the cell into the inner and outer portions of endoplasm and ectoplasm.The elaborate mineral skeleton is usually made of silica. They are found as zooplankton throughout the ocean, and their skeletal remains make up a large part of the cover of the ocean floor as siliceous ooze. Due to their rapid turn-over of species, they represent an important diagnostic fossil found from the Cambrian onwards. (Source: Wikipedia)
