If you look closely you will see a small pore that may have a collar or neck, and the cysts are often ornamented with ridges, spines, or patterned surfaces

Submitted by: Mark Edlund
Notes: This group of images shows various views of spores from the diatom Chaetoceros elmorei. Spores are produced by few inland diatoms. Spores are more heavily silicified than the vegetative cells and are often the only part of the diatom that is preserved in lake sediments. Chaetoceros spores are usually an indicator of saline conditions.
