Spiral Seed Pod

[JBR]

Hello,

I live in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Recently I discovered an interesting spiral seed pod during a walk in the forest. Here is a photo link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/allenr/4226289365/in/photostream/

Photo attached.

What is the name of the tree that produces this seed pod? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos). They are not always spiral though. Not to be confused with black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) which seems to happen often.
