Bruce, even with my little pocket camera I managed to get this one in focus a little better.
I had so much fun with the Pickle Thread that, when I saw this thing today, I couldn't pass it up. One hint, it is rather large, depending on your size, or "how" you came across it. What is it! ![]()

It looks to be some sort of extraterestrial pod. They have a large collection of them in Nevada.

Second guess: It might be a close up of a road kill rattlesnake skin that has lain out in the sun. Texas has lots of rattlers last time I checked.

Although these are small, they make a "big" impression when you step on them. I don't know the name, but it looks like a greener version of the prickley brown seed pods that fall out of trees. It also looks like you've stepped on it.

I don't think it is a Pineapple, but I don't have any idea what it is, I will guess a cuckleburr, but they aren't large.
