dinoflagellate/star-wars

Post by James Sutherland »

A spacecraft came to mind as I observed this dinoflagellate glide across my field of view showing it's armored plates. I have seen a few fragments in the past. This was my first finding of a living specimen showing pigmentation. I believe one of the...ceratium sp. The cross-wise groove can be seen at the center of the cell.
