Okay, instead of making bacteria-laden sun tea, I experimented making a batch of iced tea in the fridge, letting the bags steep for twenty-four hours. The results is meh. Doesn’t taste bad but lacks the punch of tea brewed in the sun. Back to risking growth of Klebsiella and Enterobacter but better tasting iced tea.

Any thoughts on this gorgeous object? It looks a bit like a dinocyst from the dinoflagellate genus Brigantedinium, but might be too big? My other thought is a flatworm egg of some kind. What do you think?

I’m really not sure about this one. It’s pretty raggedy and beat-up. I’m wondering, could this be foraminifera Procerolagena multilaterata? I need to make friends with a expert to check my IDs! Anyone willing to be my go-to scientist?

I’m still none the wiser about these mysteries. Flatworm eggs? Foraminifera? If you can shed any light on to these beauties, please share your knowledge! There are 2 individuals here. Pic 1 is one fella, and pics 2 and 3 are the other fella (who appears to have a spiky surface).

I’m super excited by this one. I think, I _think_, this is Amphitetras antediluviana, a new-to-me species of diatom from Cromer. I ADORE their cubic form 🎁 (yes more geometry!)

Can anyone shed any light on this little mystery? Too big to be the diatom Cylindrotheca closterium, my second guess is a dinoflagellate (perhaps Amphisolenia sp.?). What do you think? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Barnacles! Yes, this is a barnacle. Difficult to believe I know, but barnacles are actually crustaceans (like crabs and lobsters) and start out just like they do, including this nauplius stage. You can tell it’s a barnacle nauplius due to its horns! It has a few more stages to go through before it settles.

Twisty twisty! This colonial diatom Asterionellopsis glacialis is increasing in my samples. It has been known to bloom around here so it’ll be interesting to see how, when, and if that happens this year.
