A mysterious object found washed up on a Queensland beach has left one beachgoer curious enough to turn to the Internet for answers.
Matt Druce posted a picture of the strange object on the Sunshine Coast Community Board Facebook page on Sunday asking strangers for help shedding some light on his recent discovery.
The grey object, which looks like a worm made out of sand, stumped scores of people as they tried to figure out what the bizarre object was.
What is this? A social media user has turned to Facebook to shed some light on the object
'After all my years on beaches I've never seen anything quite like this before who can tell me what makes these - feeling curious at La Balsa Park, Point Cartwright,' Mr Druce wrote.
One social media user thought it might have been pelican faeces, but another rebutted that theory quickly by saying: 'No - pelican poo are a white mess.'

'I see them heaps down at Golden Beach. I too am curious as to who makes these... sting ray?' asked another social media user.
Another commentator thought it might be worm faeces or soldier crabs.
Some social media users gave several wild guesses and believed it be pelican or worm waste
The strange object was found by the beachgoer at La Balsa Park, Point Cartwright on Sunday
Several social media users who knew a thing or two about marine life believed that the strange object was sandworm or lugworm castings.
The lugworm or sandworm (Arenicola marina) is a large marine worm of the phylum Annelida.
Its coiled castings are a known sight on the beach during low tide, but the animal itself is hardly seen except by those who use it as fishing bait when they dig the worm out from the sand.
Finally some users shed some light adding that the object was a lugworm/sandworm castings
