#8 could be hammer. It's one of the tiny bones in the inner ear. I don't know if that's slang or it's official name.

Good going Sean!

I'll give you #6 as pupil is not per se a body part, but rather a componant of the eye (or the lack there of, as the pupil is really a hole). I had "arms" in mind, but I like pupil.

Congrats to Sean and PJ

Good trys here Sean, but coral is made of many tiny colinized organisms, same with spounges

Mass and volume Doc. These guys are huge and heavy. Also fairly dense.

Getting closer Sean.

HINTS: I am not an animal, nor a fungi, and I'm quite magestic. I only live in about 75 localities on the planat, and reside between 4500-8000 feet above sea level. The oldest of my kind is about 3500 years old.
