There's a lot more graffiti there than there was the last time I drove out that way!

Found on the summit of Leidy Peak at 12,028' this weekend. I have a working hypothesis of what it's function is but don't want to prejudice you. Before I reveal my hypothesis any of you know what it is? The cylindrical object on the far right is a temperature recorder. The rectangle is approximately 12" on a side.

I have a ghost cat in my house. Or maybe it's a centipede ghost cat.

I came across a half-dozen bike riders with these things near Driggs, ID and am wondering if anyone knows what they are.

I am not sure. Under confidence, full-disclosure, I have one in my possession. I think it is more polymeric than mineral, in nature. Full analysis contemplated.

Seems something more aviation-like than bicycle-like.

But, @Ben, why did they all poop in that plastic box:?
One time I woke up to find a friend sitting next to the fire making an elk poop necklace. He'd jam a needle through it and then pull it through with his teeth. He brought it home to his wife. So yeah, maybe they collect mountain goat poop?

I am working up the courage to bite into it so see if it is gold-like like the old time prospectors did. But, then again, maybe there is a more scientific way...But, @Ben, why did they all poop in that plastic box:?

Pour a little vinegar on it and see if it fizzes.

If it fizzes I know it is basic?

Right, and you thereby also know it fizzes in vinegar. That's pretty important knowledge if you're a cook or cleaning person (or a geologist).
Actually, vinegar is a dilute acetic acid that reacts with calcite or aragonite, so if it fizzes, you know it's either one of those or the critter eats rocks (assuming it's from a critter).
I think your theory from your trip report is probably right on.
