Fragilariopsis tigris sp. nov., a New Late Pliocene Antarctic Continental Shelf Diatom with Biostratigraphic Promise
Anew species within the genus Fragilariopsis, F. tigris, is described and illustrated using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. This species is restricted to a single 8-meter-thick diatom unit within the 585-meter-long section of alternating diatomites and diamictites recovered in the...
