Surirella elegans/robusta

Post by Ken Ramos »

Not to sure of the exact name but I do believe that this is Surirella. A very three dimensional diatom, just the thing for those of you who have the patience to "stack" images. Two different shots are shown here in this composite, each at a different focal point. What a critter :roll:

Delighted! Diatoms always works for me. :D

Noticing of my "a" and "the" and other grammar
errors are welcome. :D
