Several valves of Chelonicola attached to the substrate showing their valve face and the girdle composition. 3. One frustule attached to the substrate by a mucilaginous stalk. The girdle structure composed of at least 10 bands is shown. 4. Valve face view showing the head pole with the distal raphe fissure continuing onto the mantle. 5. External detail of the central area showing the lack of fascia and the stria structure. 6. External detail of a head pole showing the distal raphe fissure. Scale bar represents 10 μm except for Figs 5, 6 where scale bar = 1 μm.
