Pelomyxa

An amoebozoan from low-oxygen bottom sediments in a local pond. Like the larger Pelomyxa palustris, which is also fairly common in my samples, it has a lot of sand in its cytoplasm.  It might be Pelomyxa binucleata, as described in Frolov, 2005, but I was unable to see the two large nuclei that give the species its name.
