Here's a closer shot of the medallion. I wish I'd had time to get more pics.

Did you ever see the movie The Blob?

Be careful and keep a few fire extinguishers handy!!!

What did it feel like, rough and gritty, or slimy?

You took your pictures and ran away, didn't you?

Slimy, and it tasted like angelfood cake.

I had to run away, but I am very interested in relocating it for a closer look. I had people with me, who were not quite as science minded as I am.

It looks like the end is *heavy*.

Really crusted-over monofilament and a fishing weight? Perhaps string?

Ever play Half Life?

No... I'm pretty sure this is alive.

If it's coated with biofilm, it *is* alive.

Alive... with Slime. Goo. Mucilage. Boogers.

Looks bacterial and fungal. Boogers I say.

I've seen similar things in the Bahamas I think. I am very curious what it is...
