Introduction

During Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 320, six sites (U1331–U1336) were cored in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean (see the “Expedition 320/321 summary” chapter [Expedition 320/321 Scientists, 2010]). Early and middle Eocene thick radiolarian-rich biogenic sediments were collected at Site U1331 from Cores 320-U1331C-17X to 320-U1331A-6H. A total of 232 species and species groups were encountered in this study. We report the results of the quantitative data of radiolarian assemblage variation from the early to middle Eocene.
