Hi all ,

It seems Graham is on the right track ....but we dont live in a cave  ;D ;D

Paddy : no fungus
Robin : mhhhhhh ...
Luit : it is no macro
Ranunculus : I dont understand you
Maggi : yes the backround is styrofoam
Hans 8)

If Graham is on the right track  8)  and, you state, you don't live in a cave  ;D  and, you imply,   ;) this thing was found where you live; is it something wooden that has calcified?   ::)
