30mm long?


For your pet elephant :-)

However, even if it isn't a pet microchip, it looks like them and so may
well be a transponder of some sort.

Pet ID chip from 1965 maybe.
Presumably the coil is how it gets its power, beyond that who knows, much better picture needed.

It's an RFID transponder. Coil is energised by a near-field device,
transponder sends it's ID to the energiser. Usually contained inside
something like this :

As others have said, looks like a low frequency transponder. TI do a
31x4 mm one:

An interesting data sheet - thanks for the link. I see that although
made of glass for biocompatibility, it will withstand 300g! It is also
hermetically sealed. I wondered how it could be sealed (as it appears to
be made completely of glass) without heat damaging the electronics
inside. Answered at
http://www.schott.com/epackaging/eng...ansponder.html where it
says the glass has a high iron content and can be sealed with a Nd:YAG
laser. Obviously the iron content isn't high enough to interfere with
the signal.

Might be if it was ferrite rather than glass, and the wires were wound
round the outside rather than on the inside!
