(Triceratium formosum) is a marine diatom, and fresh water unicellular algae or plankton, it is star shaped, and found in the Pacific near Oahu, Hawaii. The cell walls contain silica dioxide "better known as glass", and after they harden into rock deposits called diatomite, this rock is used for filters, fillers, and abrasives.
