tl;dr I'm trying to find Anomaly Particles, almost certainly derived from Anomalies, somehow. Care to help?
Just to establish some context, I wouldn't call myself an "Explorer" by most player standards; I'll gladly admit I simply don't have the endurance to "find new things".
What I do have the stomach for though, is finding out unknown things about known things. For example, trying to find a Thargoid Sensor (Then Unknown Artifact) to ultimately decode the morse it transmits, interactions between guardian items and Thargoids, and so on. A good deal of this ultimately comes down to simply wanting to experience something for myself, and if I discover an unknown thing, I'm down for that
New Exploration mechanics around Notable Stellar Phenomena, Space Organics and the like are therefore a massive welcome to me. One of my key interests revolves around Anomalies, and discovering their unique effects and interactions.
I have a character currently jetting around the galaxy in order to explore all the Anomalies, and other spatial organics along the way (surface features are less interesting to me, unless it's Thargoid or Guardian in origin). On top of that, I have a bent for collecting samples along the way:
One such sample that's eluding me though, are the Anomaly Particles: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/what-does-liz-beta-ryder-know-that-eddb-doesnt-yet.458915/
They almost certainly won't do much, but my wont to find them is probably the biggest driver for me on this hunt. I've traipsed around numerous, but far from all the Anomaly types, but am yet to come across one I can sample particles from, in any form.
I once thought the fact I could fire Research Limpets at some mollusc variants which always failed meant that getting samples was bugged. I still think that's the case, but later found there's other, larger molluscs where these samples can be found.
I am yet to find any Anomalies which can have research limpets fired at them, which to me suggests they either:
Types I've looked at so far are (Red text for those which I'm aware exist, but haven't investigated):
Inner Orion Spur: All known (P-01, Q-04, Q-08, Q-09)
Inner Scutum Centaurus Arm: All known (P-02)
Norma Expanse: All known (K-02)
Empyrean Straits: P-03, T-01
Galactic Center: L-01, L-04, L-05, K-10, Q-02, T-04, T-02, Q-06, P-13, P-15,
Currently in Odin's Hold: E-04, K-01, K-06, K-08
If you want to help...let me know if
Thanks, and good hunting!
PS: I have a passing interesting in sampling a Calcite Plate Membrane... if you find a variant of that which can be sampled, let me know too. Calcite Plates (three variants) I checked out couldn't be sampled.

I am yet to find any Anomalies which can have research limpets fired at them, which to me suggests they either:
- Aren't valid targets for sampling, and I just need to find a variant I can sample (like in the case of molluscs); or
- There's some interaction you can do with them which renders them "docile" and can then be scooped.

If you want to help...let me know if
- you've been to any of these Anomalies, and if you took note of whether they could be sampled. I'l still eventually visit them, but just lower on the priority scale.; or
- Any exotic techniques which have resulted in some form of interaction with Anomalies. For reference, everything I find gets this treatment:
