Photo of the diatom Trinacria simulacrum
Trinacria simulacrum Grove & Sturt (1887)
Comment: Although formally proposed as a species of Trinacria, it has no features typically found in that genus, and so it should be transferred elsewhere.
Locality: Deep Sea Drilling Project Hole 512 (Maurice Ewing Bank, south Atlantic), sample: 71-512-15-3, 17-18 cm (middle Eocene).
Photographed using: Zeiss Axio.A1, Plan-APOCHROMAT 100×/1.4 Oil DIC + Zeiss AxioCam ICc 5. Stacked using Helicon Focus.
