Description
Summary:Stellarima microtrias (Ehrenberg) Hasle et Sims (Figures 13–16) Literature: (Hasle and Sims 1986, p. 111, figs. 19–21; Scott and Thomas 2005, p. 47, fig. 2.19). Description: Diameter 62–94 µm. Remarks: This species can be easily distinguished by the absence of marginal rimoportulae which are only located at valve center. Number of central rimoportulae in the observed specimens is 3–5 but these can be up to eight. Ecology and distribution: A common Antarctic marine sea-ice species. It has been widely recorded from recent plankton and benthic habitats as well as from Cretaceous, Paleocene, Eocene, and Miocene deposits (Hasle and Sims 1986). A detailed discussion on its distribution is found in Armand et al. (2005). Frequent in Potter Cove.
