Coscinodiscaceae

/ˌkɒsɪnoʊdɪsˈkeɪsiː/ noun

Definition

A family of round, disc-shaped diatoms found in both marine and freshwater environments.

Etymology

From genus Coscinodiscus (from Greek 'koskinon' sieve + 'diskos' disc) + '-aceae' (taxonomic family suffix), named for their delicate, sieve-like silica structures.

Kelly Says

Diatoms in this family have shells made of silica that look like microscopic snow flakes or ornate mandalas, and when they die and accumulate on the ocean floor, they eventually become diatomaceous earth—a material used in everything from toothpaste to pool filters.
