It's an exhaust manifold nut. Looks like part of the stud is still in it
too, so that's broken.
Remove the front heat shield for the exhaust manifold and have a look at
all the studs.

I also thought it looked like an exhaust manifold nut. The question remains
though, how did it get under the dash? Was Elle under the dash recently and
unknowingly transferred the nut there?

i would put money on it being a stud/nut for the exhaust system. either
the a/b/c pipes, the catalyst, or possibly the exhaust manifold. its got
the same patina of a nut/stud thats been in high heat all its life.

Re: Mystery Nut--Anyone Identify?
>From that photo, looks like one of those Castle nuts or Self-locking
nuts from the front suspension. There are 4 identical sized nuts (all
12x1.25 mm) but with different torque settings (page 18-8 of service
manual; 1991 Civic). One on top of the strut housing, and two at the
bottom, and another one at the end of the control arm. If you need the
diagram, do drop a line, and I will scan the page and send it over.

No; miscommunication. My Civic was on ramps, and I was under
the car, grinding out one of the control arm bolts, for a
long time (see other thread). About mid-day I moved the
cardboard and wood planks on which I lie for this sort of
work and found this lock-nut (with, as Tegger said, part of
a stud attached). I figured the grinding vibrations knocked
it free.
I'll get a closer look tomorrow. Car's driving okay, all
things considered (especially all my monkeying with
everything).
Thanks, folks, this will save me a lot of time.

Is that 12 mm the nominal diamter of the suspension bolts
onto which these suspension self-locking nuts fit, though?
That sounds more likely.
The 12 mm I mention for this mystery nut is the nut head
measurement. That is, a 12 mm socket fits it. The nominal
diameter of its corresponding stud appears to be 6 mm or 8
mm. (The stud diameter is a little hard to measure while
it's stuck in the nut.)
Thanks for the input. I'll update tomorrow, hopefully.
