Found this at beautiful Henderson Bay [Klingon Kountry!] actually found 2 but this is the better one. No idea what it is tho I did bet Mama Jo that it was a shark egg. If I'm right I get a new fishing rod. [She wouldn't do bike parts!] It is hollow, but dried out, light in weight and shaped like a molar. Pretty sure it isn't man made. Any ideas?
Edit; Oops I'll add the photo!

Is it solid or squishy? I thought at first it was a breast implant until I read your description and opened the pic :lol:

Scratch the squishy query - you have said dried out.

Good call, someone told me it might be a jelly and the beach was covered with bluebottles. However I can't find it on google and it was nothing like the bluebottles!

Probably because sharks don't lay eggs...

google it - they are actually called Shark Sacks but also referred to as Shark eggs....

Would I lie to you Hitcher? ;)

They have 3 methods;
1, the sharks are live born and gestate in a womb like state. Same as us.
2, the sharks are live born but there are no available nutrients in the womb so they cannabilise each other til there is only 1 or 2 left at birth.
3, the sharks are laid in eggs that usually have a method of attachment to protect them such as being screw shaped or having hooked ends

Jellyfish!

A few years ago a German backpacker at H-Bay got stung by a herd (school?) of them, had an allergic reaction and drowned.

I believe that bit in the pic is a kind of buoyancy bladder arrangement (although my knowledge of jellyfish anatomy is not that great...)

There are some quite amazing videos around showing sharks 'hatching' from their eggs. I'm too scared to google them now though. :baby:

This is a motorcycle site and things re motorcycling are supposed to be talked about!!

So I suppose it may be a pair of false testicles that Harley riders use to give them balls???

Definitely a jellyfish float. Thought it was a Portuguese Man O War (apparently not really a jellyfish... learn something new every day...) but if you look at the photos of its float (scroll to the bottom of the Wikipedia article) it seems to have a single float not the double one you have. But it's some kind of jellyfish-like creature anyway.

Good guess Klingon and real close too! I found out for sure at www.julianrocks.net
It is the swim bladder from a porcupine fish!

A camel toe - surely not. A camel toe insert maybe...

Funny you guys should say that, cos they are commonly known as "dutchmans pantaloons"
Of course, now there will be a dutchman who is unhappy that their private area is likened to a fish part and the whole nation must bear the brunt of this shamefull analogy. *sigh!*
