Skeletonemataceae is a family of centric diatoms in the order Thalassiosirales. There is currently only one living and one fossil genus in this family.[2] Their sexual reproduction is oogamous, where reproduction occurs by the union of mobile male and immobile female gametes.[3] They lack significant motility.
