Multicellular casting

All of the artifacts manufactured by the Shore Leave Planet were multicellular castings. In 2267, a USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) landing party encountered several of these artifacts. Spock, after analyzing them with his tricorder, learned that their structure resembled the cellular casting used for wound repairs by 23rd century physicians, although the material composing the artifacts was "much finer". Studying the Black Knight, Spock realized that everything on the planet had the same basic cell structure – leading him to conclude that all of it was manufactured. This conclusion was later confirmed by the caretaker.
