What could they be?

Suggestions, so far, have included owl pellets, synthetic kiwi fruits and hairy pebbles! If you think you know what is featured in the JPEG above, be sure to leave a comment. I am looking for the correct scientific name and a brief description, but I am welcoming guesses from all readers!

A Chemistry slant here. Who can tell me the name of the molecule in the picture above? I am also looking for a brief description of what it has been used for in the past.

Bomb Scare

On the 7th of March 2007, at breaktime in the science department, there was a bomb scare.
The Science Department received a strange package with no indication of what it was.
Mr. Matthews bravely volunteered to open the parcel, with no regard for his own safety. He carefully unwrapped the different layers, until it was down to a small piece of bubble wrap. Here he exclaimed that it was ticking. Summoning up the last of his courage he unwrapped the last of the bubble wrap, to reveal…a small china dog.
So to scare Mr. Matthews, all you need is some bubble wrap and parcel tape.
