Does anyone know what this interesting thing is, also from Fort Popham area on the Kennebec River, Maine?

Edit: I think it's brachionus.
Sure someone who knows what they're talking about will be along shortly....

A rotifer, but not
Brachionus. This is
Keratella cochlearis.

It does look just like the online pics of Keratella cochlearis. I am happy to know what this is as I hadn't seen one in our water samples before.
