Abstract
A diatom species belonging to the genus Paralia dominates assemblages in Oligocene deposits from the northern North Sea. The species resembles P. crenulata (Grun.) Glezer in the light microscope. SEM studies, however, show that the species differ in mantle structure. The new species is given the name Paralia thybergii and described on the basis of light and scanning electron microscopy.
