You are a forensic scientist teaching at Oxford University. You receive a letter from a farmer in Dorset, inside you find this photograph. On a note he explains that while gardening, he found a golf-ball-size sphere that looks like nothing he's ever seen before. He took it to his dentist to see if he could get an X-ray done. The dentist was shocked and intrigued, so offered to help the man. The result, he writes, is enclosed. What would you do next?

Well i might get done a CT scan with maximum resolution done of the object in 2 different orientations (90deg from the 2 scans) and then get it rebuild in 3D. Does he have any external pictures of the object to share?

Take care!

Nope, there's just this picture in the letter. You could write back to him?

I would take the information (photo) to a botanist (do they have a botany depart at Oxford)? :confused:
