After a bit of 'net searching, I don't think the red center is a thin spot in the cells. Normal red blood are that way. So my guess is that these are in fact globe shaped. And that would make them... Spherocytes |

spherocytes No. Spherocytes actually have no central pallor and an much smaller than these. A clue... the cells are named for what they look like. Think bow and arrow. In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |
