Single radiolarian - species?

  • suzeroo by suzeroo

    Regarding the single radiolarians that we mark in the Med data - used to be called "dark radiolarian" - what particular species or subtype of protist are they? I've been looking around and it seems the closest I've gotten is the orbulina universa, in the foraminifera class. Am I anywhere near close?
    Thanks! /Sue

    I don't think we're classifying a single species but a group of similar looking Radiolarian protists. As with most other categories....
