Monthly Folding Challenge - March 2008
well, I better get this started.
the challenge this month: something microscopic
(I hope this hasn't been done before...)
anyway, with luck there are some imaginative possibilities
some examples which are not in this competition would be my water bear:

and my flea:

Isn't microscopic very small?
Note: do we get bonus points if we fold the models in life-size?
An additional inspiration:
Hideo Komatsu's Water Flea is an amazing model, even including the interior of the creature.

As seen in a microscope
You might include some larger objects "as seen in a microscope" and get some rather interesting entries.
People who do tessilations might have a filed day
Just a suggestion to get more entries

Well...I guess I'll start things off...
The most controversial microscopic object ever. The mysterious chain formations inside the meteorite ALH84001.
For the record...there are in fact two pieces of paper shown in this image, the "nano-bacteria" and the purely aesthetic rock surroundings. I might try to come up with something that uses only one piece of paper.
The actual "fossil" is about 2.5" long and about .5". It came from an 8.5" x 8.5" square, divided into 32nds. This model is almost 100% pureland, utilizing only alternating mountain and valley folds to achieve the segmented look, the only unique folds came from the rolling process, and the rounding off of the ends.
