Guess what this is?

PP said...: Eye of Newt?; April 21, 2008 at 2:05 PM
O.K. said...: Something organic. A fruit or a seedpod cut open?; April 21, 2008 at 4:37 PM
O.K. said...: Now I know what it is, but not because I could figure it out...; April 21, 2008 at 4:40 PM
Katie H said...: Something you found on the beach - a seashell, or tiny urchin?; April 21, 2008 at 5:31 PM
LS said...: It is organic. Not a fruit, not a seashell, not an urchin, and certainly not a newt eye. But all good guesses. Do you want to guess more?; April 21, 2008 at 8:25 PM
O.K. said...: What is "an abnormal outgrowth of plant tissue usually due to insect or mite parasites or fungi and sometimes forming an important source of tannin"?; April 22, 2008 at 3:50 AM
LS said...: O.K. already gave you one hint, here is the next: OAK.; April 22, 2008 at 7:42 AM
LS said...: OK, all of you. It is a gall made by an insect from an oak leaf in AREAs hands.; April 22, 2008 at 9:37 PM
Katie H said...: Ah, if only I'd checked back sooner. Would've gotten it, with the clue!; April 24, 2008 at 3:35 AM
