Hi People,

I've just tried my first stack with CombineZM. Not entirely happy with it, but I have not taken the time yet to learn how to do it properly.

Big question...what is it?

The sample is beach sand. Full of foraminifera, sponge spicules, mollusc radulas and shell fragments. My best guess is that it might be part of the mouth structure / "jaw" of some type of echinoderm..starfish or seaurchin ?

Length 465um
Olympus BX40+canon a640 + me
stack of 17 frames

Any Ideas ...
Ciao

A Nike shoe's sole?

Seriously, I don't know.

!Obviamente!

Of course you are right.

Beach....sand....sandals!

So the question becomes...Whose sandals?

It looks like some type of Radiolarian.

I vote for the old shoe!

Great shot, it could be as Frez says though.
