Is it some kind of biological structure, such as on the skin of an animal?

Quote: but if its not ear,
I didn't say it wasn't the ear Stevieo..I said it wasn't the ear drum...

Nothing to do with the elbow stevieo..sorry..
..You got it Neb..they are hairs in the Organ of Corti in the Inner ear..take anything from the top shelf lady !... ..Your turn now..
Quote: There are approximately 24,000 fibers or hairs in the Organ of Corti, organized into "inner" and "outer" hairs; one row of inner hairs and 2-4 rows of outer hairs, all running the length of the basilar membrane at the "roots", and the tectorial membrane along the tops of the outer hairs. In a healthy young human there are about 3,500 of these inner hair cells and about 12,000 outer hair cells. They are sometimes called stereocilia.
And for anyone remotely interested..
..How the ear works..
Sorry to hear about the back spasm Nebs...

Best description that I have seen telling how the ear works.
Thanks, Momma.

Cool! I learned a new word today: stereocilia. 
OK BoTsters, what's this?

Individually, the clusters remind me of potato sprouts, but I've never seen so many concentrated together like that.

Sorry, Trent, it's not coral. Good guess, though.
Dawn, those are not potato sprouts. Another very good guess, though.
Momma, the color is natural.
Thelma, I strongly doubt they are humanly edible.
