Vellaria zucchellii sp. nov. a new monothalamous foraminifer from Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica
Vellaria zucchellii sp. nov. is described from coastal sediment samples from Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea, Antarctica, 74°40′28.1[double prime or second]S, 164°04′11.6[double prime or second]E, Tethys Bay, 25 m depth). This organic-walled monothalamous (single chambered) foraminifer is characterized by...
