Looks like a UFO, but
it’s a Foraminiferan! – 1/23/08
Hi Guys!
<Hi there, Terje!>
Can you help me identify this brown thing? The picture should be
approximately 1:1 (on a 15-19" monitor :) ) = 3mm. <<ufo.jpg>>
<Wow! Looks like a very pretty little Foraminiferan test. Forams are
harmless, single celled organisms (“Protists”) that are shelled and
supposedly feed on bacteria and organic matter. Please see these links
for photos and more information re:
