frustule
Description:
Thalassiosira (tha-lassy-owe-sire-a) eccentrica is one of the hundred or so species in the diverse and common genus of centric diatoms often found in marine waters. Some species can be very large. Species are distinguished primarily by the pattern of sculpting in the valve elements of the shell or frustule. This species has a seven-fold symmetry in the strutting which lies immediately below the surface of the valve, and can be seen in this isolated valve. Differential interference microscopy.
