Hak: Are they the wings of some flying insect?

TheDukeAnumber: I want to think it's some kind of intercooler heat exchanger, but I can't figure out why it's made like that. Maybe it's one of those instant water heaters?

BAZINGA!!

DZ!! (he lives near the Gulf Of Mexico so....)

This was a big one- very much alive and caught in a shrimp trawl net--
at least 250 pounds- close to 7 fts across abd 5 feet long not counting its tail.
capt. shot it a few times thru the head so we could get it out of our net safely- something we wish we had not been forced to do.

These have been used for spear fishing by primitive and even current cultures.

This was what killed Steve Irwin-- very sad event--

Giant sting ray 'stinger' caught in Gulf Of Mexico --~1979

The pic I posted is a piece of the stator winding to a generator in a coal burning power plant, I forget how many MW the unit was. I thought I had a good pic of it all together but I cannot find it.

@ hakzaw1

Looks like an antler.

Ahh damn my first guess was so close. I would have expected it to be a little more round,
though.

DJZ: It looks like a holder for something, possibly optical.

Not optical
the top edge looks sharp enough to do some kind of cutting or shaving something-


I bet he choose this side to show us for a reason--

Interesting guesses! Lightning Stalker is closest so far, it is optical in nature. If I show a pic of the other side some folks might know right away what it is.
