Abstract
Late Santonian-Early Campanian radiolarians were found in the Perapedh i Formation type section (Upper Cretaceous, Cyprus). The fossils allow us to conclude that the development of the underlying Troodos Ophioli te Complex was completed at the end of the Santonian-beginning of Camp anian. Five new species of Radiolaria were described: Archaeospongopru num distributum, Triactoma fragilis, Stichomitra perapedhia, Theocampe (?) cypraea, and Theocoronium subtriquetrus.
