The systematics, biostratigraphy, distribution in the core and comparison with radiolarian occurrences from other regions are presented. Two radiolarian zones are established viz. Psi and Omega in the sections. Ten new species are described but not formally named. The primary purpose of this paper is to present a first detailed Antarctic Pleistocene radiolarian data and refined biozone boundaries for comparative studies with other parts of the Antarctic region.completedQuaternary geologyassemblagesbiostratigraphybiozonesCenozoicfaunal listInvertebrataKerguelen PlateauLeg 119lithostratigraphymicrofossilsmorphologyOcean Drilling ProgramODP Site 745PleistoceneProtistaQuaternaryRadiolariaSouthern Oceantaxonomyurn:org.iodp:exp:119urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:119:site:745urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:119urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation85.513685.5136-59.3543-59.3542
