Oooo! New (to me) things! I think these are some dinocysts of the Polykrikos genus of dinoflagellates. If you think different, let me know!

This is very cool. Some dinoflagellates have a resting stage as part of their lifecycle, called a dinocyst (or hypnozygote). And here’s one! A dinocyst of the genus Protoperidinium.
