Ditylum sp.
Rectangular-shaped diatom with a spike at each end and this round structure inside the rectangle at both ends.
A marine biologist on board skimmed some plankton using really fine mesh nets and we took a drop from that sample and placed it under a microscope. The sample was skimmed in Izhut Bay just off Afognak Island in somewhat shallow water (less than 200 feet).
