Antarctic Neogene radiolarians are well preserved and offer great potential for biostratigraphical, palaeooceanographical and evolutionary studies. Most of the species, however, have not yet been fully documented. In this paper, the second of a planned

In this last paper in our planned series, we describe 25 new radiolarian species from the Antarctic Neogene: 6 spumellarians (Lithatractus? floridus, Spongopylidium? aerostatum, Haeckeliella hederacia, Larcopyle faustae, Excentrodiscus planangulus and

Plankton tows and bottom samples from the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea were examined to study the distribution, ecology, and preservation of modern radiolarians. Abundances of radiolarians from this region, an area of low primary productivity, are

Polycystine radiolarians, phaeodarians, tintinnids, tintinnid cysts and mollluscs (chiefly pteropod protoconchae) were counted in 20 time-series sediment trap samples retrieved in the eastern equatorial Atlantic (01°47.5′N, 11°07.6′W) at 853 m, between
