Lioloma

Coscinodiscus, Guinardia, Thalassionema spp., et al

Minor Correction. One organism was incorrectly labeled "Guinardia" that was in fact, Odontella. See following correction:






The very long sprigs are Lioloma. The shorter ones are thallasionema.
The top football shaped diatom is navicula, the one in the second picture looks more like a Pleurosigma.

Thanks,

Allison
