I really don't think it's a seed... They're very distinct and I've never seen a seed like this, there's no way... If a radical and cotyledons were in in, they're never get out
It's just a small yellowish bead with a single round hole in one side...
I'm sorry to keep shooting these ideas down, especially the ones suggesting seeds.
I've spent many hours searching online, ( it's hard to know what to type to find them...)asked my friends that are avid outdoors people, some are old timers that have been around awhile...
I've come up with nothing! No one I've asked had even seen them before, but I spot them everywhere, mostly in my garden but that's just cuz I'm digging in it a lot and there's moist exposed eroding soil.
My best guess is they are a hatched egg or possibly some phase of growth of some insect and they shed this thing( possibly a shell) away.
I can't think of any bug with eggs anywhere near this hardness or toughness, most just pop with a gentle poke... My wife says the feel like bone beads...other day they look like fossils but they certainly are not!
I'll take more pics, maybe different light will help but I think this one may require someone who just knows what they are... Researching yields so many useless results.
It's been driving me nuts for years now!
Please feel free to suggest anything, or even suggest a better sub forum to post in.
I'm determined to find out what these little buggers are and how they got here!
Thanks!
