Macro Mysteries to Solve

[Eyelight]

This one will take some different skills. What exactly is this object?

Lens cap

1/2 point awarded, but needs to be more specific.

Come on, you're not going to ask me which lens it goes on are you?

I thought that would be the easy part. I did mention different skills would be needed. Granted, it will be a guess, but not without circumstance.

I figured y'all could handle a curve, but.......... What lens cap is usually lying around??

This is a crop of a larger image. Guessing it's about 50mm of the object.

Some sort of a fruit or nut?

That would be a warm guess. <<<< I'm assuming all would be familiar with the idea of warmer being closer to right and colder being farther from right.

I should go look and see how common these are.

OK. It's native to Northeast Texas but may be found in many parts of the US and some areas of Canada.

You got it. Named after the Osage Indians in the region. We call them hedge apples, and I just learned today it is because they were planted in rows and would grow so thick they could be used for fencing. Stopped being used as such with the advent of barbed wire.

@cwgrizz Walt, toss one up if you have it.

Looks like martian brains. As if I would know what that would look like!

@Eyelight, don't have anything so someone else is welcome to post one.
As to the Osage, we cut the tree/bush for fence posts, but..... Don't let them season before using them. They would get harder than woodpecker lips when aged and a fence steeple could not be driven into them. Great long lasting posts though. That was SE Oklahoma area. Oh, and the thorns! Yuk. And the sticky white juice from the apple.... Messy. I did find a lone tree by a dirt tank in southern AZ once. No clue where it came from.

Not sure how common these are. I've seen them my entire life. Near 1:1 view of one part, so does not all look like this.
