New structural details of the frustules of the diatom Triceratium favus Ehrenberg seen in the scanning electron microscope are reported. Significant new observations concern the pores of the hexagonal chambers, accessory structures (spines, dendritic processes) on the outer surfaces of the hexagonal chambers, the value margins and girdle structure.
