Abstract:The purpose of this study is to present microphotgraphs of all the encountered taxa of the middle to late Miocene age from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1021 in the eastern North Pacific in order to analyze the species diversity of radiolarians. Totally 149 species or species groups of radiolarians were identified from Site 1021 in the eastern North Pacific. Micro-photographs have been illustrated in the 24 plates, and a new species, Lychnocanoma californica, is described.
