Debris has washed up on a West Australian beach and is being examined to determine whether it's related to missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is studying photographs of the material which washed ashore 10 kilometres east of Augusta, around 300km south of Perth.
The items are being held by Busselton police, who are awaiting instructions from the ATSB and Joint Agency Co-ordination Centre (JACC) in Perth.
The ATSB has provided the photographs to the Malaysian investigation team.
Police said items of interest had been previously reported after washing up on a WA beach and had turned out to be unrelated to MH370, so it was important not to jump to conclusions.
ATSB chief commissioner Martin Dolan also played down the find.
"It's sufficiently interesting for us to take a look at the photographs," Mr Dolan told CNN.
"The more we look at it, the less excited we get."
He said the debris appeared to be sheet metal with rivets.
