Staurophora sp. ( Figure 42 View Figures 39–59 )

Description: Valves elliptic to linear elliptic with broadly rounded apices, 48–55 µm long, 16–20 µm wide. Raphe very slightly bent in the middle of the valve, proximal endings simple and apart, distal endings deflected in opposite directions. Axial area narrow, central area large, expanding laterally to form a stauros not reaching valve margin. Striae radiate, 20–22 in 10 µm in the middle. Areole more distant near valve margin.

Ecology and distribution: A marine benthic species. Rare in Potter Cove.
