 It's a seed (Asteraceae?), with the pappus still attached.

 Well, it looks quite unusual, but if really Asteraceae, it would be a nut fruit, not a seed. The seed would be tightly included.
Otherwise, there are seeds bearing a hair tuft in e. g. Epilobium, but this strange thing does not ring a bell to me...

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
