Siliceous ooze
（重定向自Radiolarian ooze）
Siliceous ooze is a siliceous pelagic sediment that covers large areas of the deep ocean floor. Siliceous oozes consist predominantly of the remains of microscopic sea creatures, mostly those of diatoms and radiolarians. Sometimes siliceous oozes also contain silicoflagellates and the spicules of sponges.
