Looking for an ID

#1 Post by 75RR » Thu May 07, 2020 9:01 am

Marine, 115µm width - what look like dust spots are in fact dust spots ;)

Image from top of stack and one from the bottom ...

Interesting. The first picture along the edge looks like it would be a diatom. What is the magnification?

It isn't, but very much reminds me of Dickinsonia

Hi 75RR
I think that a good example of a species would be Auricula complexa

Best regards Rylander
