Full description
Abundance counts by taxon of radiolaria from ~100 surface sediment gravity cores from the Southern and Eastern Indian Ocean collected between 1988 and 2004.Lineage
Maintenance and Update Frequency: irregular
Statement: Sediments were primarily collected using gravity cores.
Radiolaria were isolated by digestion in 10% HCl, followed by filtration through a 63um filter. Slide sample were examined under x100 magnification (or greater if required).
Parameters: Core code, core latitude (decimal), core longitude (decimal), depth of seabed (m), observed radiolaria taxa, raw counts of each species in each sample, species total, sample total.
