Any thoughts on this gorgeous object? It looks a bit like a dinocyst from the dinoflagellate genus Brigantedinium, but might be too big? My other thought is a flatworm egg of some kind. What do you think?

I’m really not sure about this one. It’s pretty raggedy and beat-up. I’m wondering, could this be foraminifera Procerolagena multilaterata? I need to make friends with a #foram expert to check my #foraminifera IDs! Anyone willing to be my go-to scientist?

I’m still none the wiser about these mysteries. Flatworm eggs? Foraminifera? If you can shed any light on to these beauties, please share your knowledge! There are 2 individuals here. Pic 1 is one fella, and pics 2 and 3 are the other fella (who appears to have a spiky surface).

I’m super excited by this one. I think, I _think_, this is Amphitetras antediluviana, a new-to-me species of diatom from Cromer. I ADORE their cubic form 🎁 (yes more geometry!)

Oh the wondrous geometry of diatoms! This fabulous triangular number is Triceratium favus.

Can anyone shed any light on this little mystery? Too big to be the diatom Cylindrotheca closterium, my second guess is a dinoflagellate (perhaps Amphisolenia sp.?). What do you think? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oooo! New (to me) things! I think these are some dinocysts of the Polykrikos genus of dinoflagellates. If you think different, let me know! #alwayslearning

So glad this diatom species is back in my samples. I don’t know why I love Ditylum brightwellii, but I do!

Twisty twisty! This colonial diatom Asterionellopsis glacialis is increasing in my samples. It has been known to bloom around here so it’ll be interesting to see how, when, and if that happens this year.
