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, 74degrees40'28.1"S, 164degrees04'11.6"E, Tethys Bay, 25 m depth). This organic-walled monothalamous (single chambered) foraminifer is characterized by a wide, promin...
