This is a Cypress knee, a structure that emanates around the base of Cypress trees where their function is up to debate, but more than likely it's purpose is for support. Usually, the knee's grow to a rounded point but now and then you get alternate forms such as this. Taken at Lettuce Lake Park Dec 2004.

Never heard of the Cypress knee before Alex, seeing its outline form my imagination runs wild. A clear capture, well done.

Looks like the sign they use in Hawaii, it's really a unique find and capture Alex. Also comes to mind it looks like a large head of a snail, lol.
