Re: Oedogonium germling plus something rather large
It's a statoblast, which is a dispersal stage for most freshwater bryozoans. I think the oval shape with two distinct layers marks it as some type of plumatellid, while in other families they tend to have hooks or different forms, but I'm not certain if that rule applies everywhere.

Thanks for the id.
Looked up "plumatellid" they are very beautiful.
Found this page, if you scroll down there is an image that could be mine :)
