"Researchers have been puzzled for more than a decade about an unidentified
plastic shape that keeps turning up in the stomachs of seabird chicks on
Lord Howe Island."

"They are a bit bigger than a human thumbnail and always a light colour with
raised concentric circles."

Can the readers of Maat identify them and their source?
