Abstrak: Lima belas spesies radiolaria telah dikenalpasti dari lokaliti baru di Bukit Lada, Kedah. Himpunan radiolaria yang ditemui terdiri daripada Busuanga sp., Cryptosphenidium sp., Cryptosphenidium verrucosum, Eptingium manfredi, Eptingium manfredi robustum, Parasepsagon asymmetricus praetetracanthus, Parasepsagon variabilis, Planispinocyrtis sp., Pseudostylosphaera compacta, Pseudostylosphaera longispinosa, Pseudostylosphaera japonica, Pseudostylosphaera magnispinosa, Pseudostylosphaera helicata, Pseudostylosphaera coccostyla dan Triassocampe deweveri. Kehadiran Zon himpunan Triassocampe deweveri dan Zon himpunan Eptingium manfredi robustum telah memberikan usia rijang di Bukit Lada adalah Trias Tengah iaitu dari julat usia Anisian hingga Ladinian.
Abstract: Fifteen species of radiolarians were identified from a new locality in Bukit Lada, Kedah. The radiolarian assemblages consist of Busuanga sp., Cryptosphenidium sp., Cryptosphenidium verrucosum, Eptingium manfredi, Eptingium manfredi robustum, Parasepsagon asymmetricus praetetracanthus, Parasepsagon variabilis, Planispinocyrtis sp., Pseudostylosphaera compacta, Pseudostylosphaera longispinosa, Pseudostylosphaera japonica, Pseudostylosphaera magnispinosa, Pseudostylosphaera helicata, Pseudostylosphaera coccostyla and Triassocampe deweveri. The existence of Triassocampe deweri assemblage- Zone and Eptingium manfredi robustum assemblage- Zone indicate that the age of the Bukit Lada chert is Middle Triassic ranging from Anisian to Ladinian.
