Thalassiosira oceanica Hasle

Thalassiosira oceanica Hasle (1983): 220, table 1, figs. 1–18 — Harris et al. (1995): 121, figs. 8, 26; Hasle and Syvertsen (1997): 56, 57, table 7; Bérard-Therriault et al. (1999): 26, pl. 11 d; Hoppenrath et al. (2007): 59, fig. 24 a; Li et al. (2014): 390, fig. 62.

Description

Cells rectangular in girdle view, pervalvar axis slightly shorter than cell diameter 6.8–7.3 (3.0–12.0) µm. Valve has fine ornamentation of silicious radial ribs and poroidal areolation, 50–60 (40–60) areolae in 10 µm. Valve has undulating marginal ridge. One central strutted process, located slightly sub-central. Single marginal ring of 4–6 (3–8) relatively widely spaced strutted processes in 10 µm without external tubes, 2 µm apart. One labiate process close to one marginal strutted process. Valve rim has ribs.
