Hi there!

I would need your help to ID dinos - from the shape I feel like this should be Amphidinium but with the movement pattern I have doubts with Ostreopsis... or Prorocentrum...
I'm basically lost :-)
What do you think ?

Thank you for your precious help!

Amphidinium has the telltale “hook”
 
There's a FB group dedicated for dino ids and solutions to deal with them
 
Yes, the beak confirms amphidinium
 
Are you sure this is not Ostreopsis ?
