Hi Bruce!
A car wheel, maybe part of some toy? :wink:

How about that breathing hole in the side of a slug -- what's it called, a pneumostome?

'Mists of time' swirling through a galactic wormhole or cauldron from Macbeth ... or a bit of something like me ... an old fossil :)

Thanks all of you for giving it a shot.

It certainly could be the empty eye socket of an unfortunate newt (or similar beastie) couldn't it... An' I can see the tyre/wheel connection.....and at a pinch, if I squint enough I can almost make a geode "pop" right out from the screen.

A galactic wormhole needs more imagination than I can muster....maybe a common or garden wormhole though....hmmm....nah don't think so....!

But we do have a winner....and no surprises....the winner is....and it's another gold star for Mr Rik J. Littlefield =D> :smt041 :smt023 !!!

I will post the answer pic tonight in all it's glory....hmmm am I allowed to say that....it does seem a little self congratulatory doesn't it ....well it really wasn't meant that way....and anyway the tail bit is missing......

Bruce :D

Hey guys, it's not my fault if you keep picking stuff I've seen before. 8)

Oddly enough, slugs are a big blip in the access logs to my personal web site. I think I only have one picture of the things, but it's surprisingly popular. 307 downloads last month. Fact is, if you ask Google about mating slugs right now, my page turns up as the #5 hit, and that's the single most common search string that got people to my site. Who woulda' thought!? :?

Solution to Puzzle Picture:

As promised here's a portrait of the owner of the galactic wormhole (pp - it took a while for the "Stargate SG1" penny to drop :lol: ):

I think the small, white mark on top of the mantle (looks like a whales blowhole) is just a wound - unless anyone knows different?

Neat pic of mating slugs Rik! When you say "307 downloads..." do you mean 307 views (I appreciate that the image had to be downloaded to be seen) or do you have a way of knowing if someone actually right clicked and saved your image?

Thanks again to all the "players" and of cause, well done Rik!

Bruce
