That's going to be a tough one. Maybe some unicellular algae attached to the piece of sediment at the right - but with no scale and little focus... IDK

What are your guesses on what the sediment could be? I was thinking maybe some sort of mineral or maybe organic material, what do you think?

Hi MicroscopyLearning,
I think you are right they are some sort of mineral or maybe organic material.
