External morphology

Concave indention on aboral edge, ending in thick protrusions. Thick processes on oral hooks. Slight indentations on lateral edge. Size 27.2 mm x 21.5 mm.

This strikingly sculpted specimen was sent to the HORG offices from an anonymous field researcher from Illinois, USA. Though fleeting glimpses of this occlupanid have been observed in other occlupanologist’s collections, this mysterious sample is the first that HORG has acquired.
