Abstract |
A small population of Biflustra grandicella has developed on the lower beach in the Western Scheldt, The Netherlands, near the warm water outlet of the nuclear power plant at Borssele (lat 51.4315 – long 3.7086). It covers a field of cobbles of a few tens of square meters with encrusting and about 30 erect colonies, with sizes between a golf ball and a basketball. It is not known if the population extends sublittoral. Samples were taken on 13 February 2017 by the author after several sightings of coral like creatures made by fossil hunters. Few colonies and colony fragments were taken to be kept alive, dried, in ethanol and in RNAlater. SEM pictures have been made with the scanning electron microscope of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Science (RBINS). |
