Was going to do a poll on this but...apparently..you can't add pictures to a poll!
So, the options were:
Man made?
Natural?
I don't care!
:)
It's entirely possible that everyone knows what this is but it fills a moment to ask :)
@Jkp I have no idea what this is, but on the second picture it looks like a fish. Do you have peelable fish up there?
possible answer?
@Jkp is it a clear layer from a spring onion or something similar?
Guessing
@Jkp that looks like a squid quill or similar.
@Jkp Squid condom! At least that's what we call it :P
@Jkp stealth drone
@Jkp I nearly suggested some kind of weird sea creature exoskeleton!
@dreadpirateyarr You should have trusted the Pirate force!
🙃
As I thought, a mixed response to this curious item, and thanks to everyone who commented.
A couple of correct answers amongst them and some so close they could almost taste it 🙂
Any references to Squid takes the prize which is simply the glory of being right .
It is, of course, the stiffening (spine?) Of a common squid. It runs right up the back of the carapace and is, as far as my experience goes, one of the most amazing natural 'bones' ever!
But I don't know everything obviously 😄
