The more you buy, the more chance you have of finding different species! EXTREMELY RARE Microscope slide of strewn Radiolarians from Jérémie, HAITI (Lower Miocene). Revised: For Diatom Lab it was very difficult to collect several samples in Haiti because of the current unstable and dangerous security situation in that country, located on the island of Hispaniola!

Radiolarians (Polycystine) from Springfield were highly sought during nineteenth century, see for example: 1) Bury, Edward, Mrs; Cooke, M.C., Polycystins, figures of remarkable forms &c. in the Barbados chalk deposit (chiefly collected by Dr. Davy, and noticed in a lecture delivered to the Agricultural Society of Barbados, in July, 1846), London, W. Wheldon, 1869; 2) Association for Advancement of Science, Report of the Seventeenth Meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, held at Oxford in June 1847, London, John Murray, 1848. Strewn Radiolarians are mounted in Diatom Lab’s proprietary high-refractive-index Premium Mountant. It is unalterable over time and has an R.I. > 1.7, ensuring maximum optical performance.
