Mystery 'Micrograph' #13

This one is more of a macrograph than a micrograph, and for once it may or may not involve a non-protist. This one is actually pretty weird. This is to give some of the sane people non-protistophiles a chance =P Bonus marks for telling me why this organism is weird/interesting.

  4. Wow, quickest one ever! Yup, it's Paleodictyon nodosum, and it doesn't seem to be known what the hell it actually is...apparently it's either a worm burrow, a flattened sponge or a foram -- that is, pretty much anything...

    Not surprised that a paleontologist would know it though! =P
