Diatoms from Barbados

Post by anne »

Hello everybody,
Barbados is famous for his radiolarias, but in this fossil samples there are some very nice and rare diatoms too.
Here three examples in different illumination, DIC, Phasecontrast and Darkfield.

Asterolampra insignis A. Schmidt 1888

All beauties, nicely shot. I've never seen that Asterolampra before. Is it unique to Barbados?

Thank you all for your comments!

Steve, it is not unique for Barbados, you can also find it in samples for example from Oamaru. But I am not 100% sure if it is A. insignis, looks a little bit different.
In my Barbados samples they are characteristic for the sample together with Coscinodiscus oblongus Greville.

Anne - why the question marks?

I think your microphotographs have a very distinct style - both in the technical execution and in the framing of the subjects. 'Never inteded to say anything else :-)
