Pine cone ‘scale’ by rhoing

Pine cone ‘scale’

Macro shot of a single scale from a White pine (“Pinus strobus”) cone; length approximately 1-5/8".
(At least I think it’s called a scale. I may find out from my plant systematics expert.)
ETSOOI’ed again to get rid of the sensor dust specks on the image…

I know what you mean by the scale - it looks huge here! But an interesting formation!
