I do still want live dinos - even more if they are toxic. I'll send you a PM with my shipping info.

Dfee,thanks so much. I got your sample a few days ago, put it under the scope that night.
Saw almost exclusively diatoms. almost nothing living.

the brown discoloration in the rag was also diatoms

took many samples, and after a lot of looking I am uncertain. I did find a few weird clear shapes of similar size and shape repeated often enough to make me wonder if it was the theca (armor) that came off of a dead dino.

then I found a brown pigmented blob of similar size and shape that bore resemblance to a dino

short vid changing focal plane. there's some sort of dino-like structure to it.

I didn't post while I tried to look for possible IDs. Didn't have much luck there. While it's an unusual shape, there are a lot of lumpy shaped dinos...
like (that's an amphidiniopsis)
