Dino Id

[Tathamet]

I’m having a hard time figuring out how to magnify passed the point I’m getting so hopefully it’s close enough to get an id. If not, any tips on how to get a closer look with one of these 50-1000x magnification digital microscopes? I can only figure out how to focus with it.



I recorded it as a video so hopefully their movements can help Id. Some of them kinda fold/spiral around but look flat.

Samples were taken from the frag rack, rockwork and sand bed and mixed together. I blasted them around in the cup before taking my drop so they aren’t in a tight mass forming strings in the video.



edit: camera holds still around the 1:03 mark lol

The ones that are moving by rolling over are most likely ostreopsis. A higher magnification may be needed to give a more definitive answer or to see if you have any other types of dinos in there.

thanks, any idea how to magnify more with what I have? Do I have to pull the scope back and then zoom in for it to work? I can’t figure out how to zoom in beyond the focus point.

ok I figured out there was a second focal point after messing with the dial. hopefully this video helps Identify a bit better.

appologies for the shaking lol.
