The laminated, bituminous sediments of the upper Oligocene (Chattian, MP 28) volcanic crater Lake Enspel preserve a large variety of fossils of the former flora and fauna of the lake and its surroundings. By means of FE-SEM techniques, we have identified the remains of globally rare Cenozoic testate amoebae (Amoebozoa: Thecamoeba) associated with gemmules of freshwater sponges. This is the first record of siliceous shell plates ofScutiglyphasp., an euglyphid testate amoebae from Lake Enspel. The existence of an intermittently swampy and/or near shore habitat of Lake Enspel is discussed.
