Got an email back and he also said it looks to be a tape egg as well.



"I can't tell you for sure, but it looks to me like a tape - I can almost

imagine a hexacanth larva in the center. Also, most coccidians would

have subdivided sporozoites within the oocyst, which should be visible

at this mag. Finally, it seems too big for a coccidian cyst, though the

absolute magnification would of course affect this."
