Unique Identification: Diatom
Taxon: Acanthoceras sp.
Site name: Spirit Lake, Iowa
Light type: not specified
Magnification: 100x
Submitted by: Mark Edlund
Notes: These are resting spores produced by the freshwater diatom Acanthoceras. The heavily silicified spores can be found in sediments; usually the lightly silicified vegetative valves of this diatom are not present. For more information see Edlund & Stoermer (1993. JOPL 9:55-61).

Taxon: Urosolenia sp.
Site name: Spirit Lake, Iowa
Light type: not specified
Magnification: 100x
Submitted by: Mark Edlund
Notes: These are resting spores produced by the freshwater diatom Urosolenia. They look very similar to chrysophyte cysts but are bipartite. The heavily silicified spores can be found in sediments; usually the lightly silicified vegetative valves of this diatom are not present. For more information see Edlund & Stoermer (1993. JOPL 9:55-61).

Taxon: Chaetoceras elmorei
Site name: Devils Lake ND
Light type: not specified
Magnification: 100x
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.
