Shell c. 61 µm long, air dried

Unidentified amoeboid

 

I found this amoeboid in a sample from a garden pond in Wellington, Florida. Before I could observe it better, it was suddenly dried… It’s curious because of the network of granulated filopodia which resembles those of Allogromia, but the shell is not covered with xenosomes, but is clear and organic.
