Globular Mite -
Phthiracarus

Quite the strange-looking mite. No idae what it is though. Very common in rotten wood.

Moved
So it seems to have been something new then. For now, I've moved it to the page you suggested.

Oribatid mite
Definitely an Oribatid. When disturbed, these forms retract their legs & head into their bodies to form an armored pill.
As of right now, the oribatid pages are all relatively small & you won't find this guy or his close kin among the entries.
