Radiolarians were the principal plankton group within the Paleozoic and Mesozoic Ocean. The radiolarian fauna remarkably changes across the Paleozoic/Mesozoic boundary, when the biggest mass extinction occurred. Although the detail of the radiolarian faunal change had long been obscured, it had been clarified through the geological and paleontological survey of Arrow Rocks, New Zealand that many Permian radiolarians survived across the boundary. In this study, I extracted radiolarian assemblages from about fifteen earliest Triassic horizons in Arrow Rocks cherts. These radiolarian fauna was almost composed of Permian-type species, and changed gradually to Mesozoic-type fauna in Early Triassic time.
