(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
There are two main groups of radiolaria, the Polycystinea and Phaeodarea. Both produce siliceous skeletons, but those of the latter are rarely preserved, so most fossils are of the former. A third group, the Acantharea, produces skeletons of strontium sulfate that do not fossilize. Most likely these different groups do not share a common origin, and they are now usually classified separately. Heliozoa are similar to radiolaria, but lack central capsules and only produce simple skeletal elements, such as spines or scales.
