Image 345, top left corner cropped and enhanced.  The large object in the corner may be the bigger fish that shows up in some of the photos immediately following this photo.  I possibly see some of it's white stripes, as well as the tail in the back.  Can't explain the rounded "bluish" tube object.  The larger object looks like it may be casting a shadow right over the tube object.
sure looks like a fish. But the fin looks pretty round. Almost like a heater element out of a hot water tank. Who knows what it could be. Maybe it is a fin.

Once again, whatever it is, it doesn't show up in image 346, per my earlier post with the image attached.

I'm a little surprised these fish don't have their own agents yet, demanding "appearance fees" and the like.

I agree with the heater element idea, craig. A little like the dust pan handles we used to make in metal shop made from 1/4 or 3/8 in. rod bent over on itself and attached under the pan with rivets. Greg's picture with the  dashed yellow box showing the area of the object still shows something sticking out from the rounded thingy, but the picture is a different scale (smaller) and I can't bring it up to a decent size. Maybe someone could enhance it so the pixels are more smooth.
Where's my pictures of the flare and starter cartridge for comparing to can1 and 2??

Here's something for pic. 346 comparison: look familiar? Cigarette holders found on Amazon..

Reply #42 looks like a sprocket.

I have been on vacation this week so I am just coming back to the forum.  In reference to the "tubes" that keep coming up in the photos. (I have yet to request the dropdown link so I haven't seen all of the photos)  Maybe my sunburn is affecting my judgment but could they be broken off pitot tubes?

Just a thought.

Small cylinder shape in the upper left hand corner of #566?  :)

Yes.  That's "Can 2".  It's visible in several photos.  See discussion earlier in this thread.

Quick on the draw Ric, was just about to edit my question stating that it may simply be another view of can 2!

Could be, but somehow I don't see Fred using one of those. (Its a funny mental image though!)

These are sea urchin spines (on land).  Look familiar?

Im coming into the middle of this after being away for a week so Im unfamiliar with the scale of the images.

You can sort of tell the size the sea urchin spines by the shells around them. They're small. A few inches.

Does sort of look like the "cigarette holder", Ric , but why would there be only one of them if it was a sea urchin spine?
