Location for Meridion circulare in the UK

Post by Nezza »

Hi I have recently joined this forum. I have an old picture of Meridion circulare taken locally (Cambridgeshire in the UK), but I cannot remember where. Do any UK members know of a good location for this diatom ?

Meridion circulare

I'm in the U.S., but most of the times I have encountered Meridion circulare it has been in a running spring.

It has been found near Malham Tarn Field Centre in Yorkshire.

There are 2 photos of the diatom here:

There is a photo of the gill where it was found here:

I hope this is the right species; I am NOT a diatom expert.
