Triceratops Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Might be an odd crystal growth. Some times crystals can be so skinny they appear hair like. Is the hair hard? -Lyall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it is soft, I can move it around I thought maybe seaweed stuck to it but washed and still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 It could also be a fine root. They're quite sturdy. But that's plain guessing, since none of the photos are detailed enough to even allow a proper glimpse of the subject. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

All I can say is it is like hair and I have drawn a circle around all pieces on rock, I think ill have to upgrade my camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 You may need to use a microscope to be able to ID the 'hair' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
