Nice. It looks like a vannellid ameba (genus Vannella or close). These amoebae are known to be able to project coiled pseudopodia. Look here for an extreme example (last image on that page): http://penard.de/Explorer/Amoebozoa/Dis ... abellinia/

Many thanks Ecki !! In the sample there were many amoebas with similar forms as the photos of your excellent page.Ecki wrote:Nice. It looks like a vannellid ameba (genus Vannella or close).
