Nice photo, I have been coming across fragments with pattern similar to the illustrations here:

Had no idea what they were, perhaps this is an explanation.

@Hans
I like Joseph Leidys drawings. The green balls in these drawings and in my photo are symbiont algae. You find the same algae in Hyalosphenia, some Difflugia, the green Hydra etc.
They can survive without their hosts, the hosts howwever cannot do without their symbiont algae.
Greetings,
the other Hans
