TAXONOMIC NOTES AND FLORAL REFERENCES

Taxonomic references for diatom species identified from Leg 178 sediments are listed below. The authority of each species is given as well as several good references that describe and illustrate the particular taxon. Plates P1-P23 show diatoms from a rise site (Holes 1095A and 1095B), and Plates P24-P33 show diatoms from the shelf sites (Holes 1097A and 1103A). The shelf site plates are arranged by seismic unit (Larter et al., 1997; Barker, Camerlenghi, Acton, et al., 1999) (i.e., Unit S1: Cores 178-1097A-1R through 9R and Cores 178-1103A-1R through 26R; Unit S2: Cores 178-1097A-10R through 18R; Unit S3: Cores 178-1097A-19R through 51R and Cores 178-1103A-27R through 38R).

We included all the varieties into this species. The circular valve is more common and oval to slightly triangular valves are in the minority in Leg 178 materials (Pl. P15, fig. 5).

Nearly monospecific ooze of Corethron spp. is present as pale brown-gray colored laminae in Palmer Deep Sites 1098 and 1099 (see the Leg 178 Initial Reports volume). Fragments are observed in upper Miocene and Pliocene sediments but never appear as a complete valve at the Leg 178 sites on the continental rise and shelf (Pl. P7, fig. 13; Pl. P32, figs. 6, 7).

Ciesielski (1983) considered this species as the descendant of N. interfrigidaria and mentioned the gradual reduction in the abundance of punctae on the valve face. Barron (1996) used this species as a proxy of southward migration of the Polar Front.

Remarks: Valve disk-shaped, diameter = 17-30 µm, with small central depression. A ring of strutted processes, spaced 2-4 in 10 µm. Marginal strutted processes are regularly spaced, 5-6 in 10 µm (average = 2-µm interval). Gersonde (1991) remarked "T. complicata has some affinities to T. opposita Koizumi," which was described from upper Miocene sediments in the northwest Pacific Ocean (Koizumi, 1980, p. 39, pl. 1, figs. 15-17), "in the arrangement of areolae and the marginal and median rings of strutted processes." T. opposita differs by the presence of two central opposite processes that are surrounded by large and conspicuous areolae. A set of opposed central fultoportulae in the central hyaline field has been recognized by recent scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation (Shiono and Koizumi, pers. comm., 2000). T. complicata "early form" of Harwood and Maruyama (1992, pl. 14, fig. 21) is distinguished from T. complicata s.s. by the lack of middle processes and may be structurally close to T. jacksonii. T. plicata Schrader (1974) (Koizumi, 1980, pl. 3, figs. 22-25; = Thalassiosira cf. jacksonii of Akiba, 1986, p. 446, pl. 11, figs. 1, 5; Thalassiosira sp. E sensu Akiba, 1986, pl. 11, figs. 3, 4) is also similar to T. complicata by its arrangement of areolae and the ring of strutted processes in the middle of valve face. T. complicata, in general, is distinguished by a central hyaline area. However, it is not easy to distinguish completely between T. complicata and T. plicata with the optical microscope. Future SEM observation is required (Pl. P11, figs. 1-9; Pl. P12, fig. 1; cf. Pl. P26, fig. 3).

Remarks: Gersonde (1991) distinguished T. inura from T. jacksonii Koizumi and Barron in Koizumi (1980; p. 396, pl. 1, figs. 11-14) by its stronger areolation and by the absence of a strutted process located in the hyaline central area. However, according to the SEM observation of the type material of T. jacksonii by Shiono and Koizumi (pers. comm., 2000), a porelike structure of T. jacksonii, described as "a strutted process" in Koizumi (1980), is considered to be a central depression. The most distinguishable character should be the difference in density of marginal strutted processes (3-4 in 10 µm for T. inura [Gersonde, 1991] and 10-16 in 10 µm for T. jacksonii [Shiono and Koizumi, pers. comm., 2000]). Harwood and Maruyama (1992) noted the existence of T. inura in the uppermost Miocene sediments in Hole 747A. However, their T. inura Miocene form (Harwood and Maruyama, 1992, pl. 5, fig. 14) can be identified as T. jacksonii. The earliest appearance of T. inura in the Southern Ocean may be taxonomically confused with T. jacksonii (as already mentioned in Harwood and Maruyama, 1992) and other related species (Pl. P12, figs. 2, 3; Pl. P26, figs. 8, 9; Pl. P27, fig. 3).
