I am no barnacle expert, but the things only seem to colonize things near land, not out in the ocean. These barnacles seem small, so I doubt they are going to tell the investigators much. Flaperon could have floated most of the way barnacle free.
On the insistence of some especially the NOK refusing to believe this is from MH370, not only was MH370 the only B777 lost in the SIO, so the only one missing the thing, but it would be only lost B777 flaperon involved in a crash. There are what appears to be some shrapnel holes in one end, possibly something sprayed from one of the engines as things came apart. So not a lost spare part. I have not seen any really detailed pictures yet, but did not notice any obvious exit holes. A better look at it would be nice, for all us amateur crash investigators.
