MicroWalrus? This thing was emerging from what looks like a trichrome, which are starlike structures found on plant leaves. But how could they get on a windowsill mixed in with New York City soot? A further image search suggested it was a Volyn biota, which are fossilized microorganisms found in rock samples from miarolitic cavities of igneous rocks collected in Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine. Who knows? Check out all three images on this posting.
