 Found this when veiwing one of our student’s samples of pond water. It looks to be an amoeba of sorts. We are in Baton Rouge Louisiana, and last year the city and surrounding areas initiated a chlorine burn of the city water system due to naegleria fowleri “brain eating amoeba”, that was found in drinking water of surrounding areas! The city increased the chlorine levels in the water above .5 milligrams per liter for a period of about 40 days, in hopes of killing off the amoeba

 If this is an amoeba we would like to see what type of is.
