Polished rounded edges. Size 9 mm x 9 mm
A delightful oddity of tiny proportions. Adoralepus kadyae was discovered during an excavation of a discontinued Calico Critters toy set. Searching deep underneath layers of miniature plastic canned goods, miniature bananas and miniature boxes of corn flakes, occlupanologist C. Ayers (FORC) unearthed a small but sturdy 9mm square occlupanid firmly attached to a minute bag filled with rabbit-themed plastic bread products. A. kadyae possesses softly rounded edges, and a unique interior morphology; it has a small rounded oral groove with slight angles (bringing to mind the endolateral dential processes of the Toxodentidae), with the anterior oral groove reduced to two small furrows. There is also a possibility that we are looking at a new species of Concavigulidae, or perhaps a close relative. Species discovered and described by C. Ayers.
