NEW RADIOLARIAN SPECIES FROM LATE JURASSIC CHERT-TERRIGENOUS DEPOSITS OF THE TAUKHA TERRANE, SOUTHERN SIKHOTE-ALIN

Abstract

Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous well preserved radiolarians are obtained from the Taukha Terrane in the southern Sikhote-Alin, Russia. The Taukha Terrane consists of three tectono-stratigraphic units, the Erdagou, Gorbousha and Skalistorechenka units. Three new species (Stichocapsa (?) pseudoconvexa, Sethocapsa taukhaensis and Cinguloturris primorika) are described from Late Jurassic chertterrigenous sequences of the Gorbousha Unit cropping out in the Roudnaya River and Koreyskaya River areas, and their stratigraphic ranges are made precise.
