Re: ID Help request
Hi JimT,
my guess would be Testate Amoeba. See link.

Thanks. Looks similar. JimT
Re: ID Help request
I think that the green object that moved insided the perimeter might be Oscillatoria or some other cyanobacteria. The "brown diatom like objects" that also moved I'm fairly certain are, in fact, diatoms. Nice images and a great find.JimT wrote:Stationary object about 120 um's.

This is the empty testate amoeba shell of Arcella with Oscillatoria and a few diatoms inside.
