In the Lord of the Rings movie, Frodo is led by the treacherous Gollum into the lair of a giant spider. Fleeing in terror, he is entangled in the massive webs and narrowly avoids being eaten alive. Although on a much smaller scale, this SEM micrograph of a flaw in a cosmetics container resembles the lair of an arachnid. The unusual flaw likely resulted from a fold in the glass being pulled apart during container formation, causing strands of glass to stretch across the fissure. Based on its appearance, the flaw would likely be classified as a tear or an infolded lap mark.
