    Found this in Maltese countryside. It seemingly some kind of large seed — presumably with seeds inside.

    It’s got a woody, dried texture and a bulge in the centre. It also has fault lines across the side, like its two pieces you could split open.

    I found two of them, so, here’s two of these mystery seeds with the case of an iPhone 12 Mini for scale.

    Welcome to the forums kovi.

    Looks like Jacaranda mimosifolia seed capsules
