Lateral and aboral indents. Circular scars on one side . Size 33.5 mm x 22.6 mm
This curiously-formed and sturdy Toxodentid has been reliably found in medical biomes, often attached to bags of medical suction canisters. A somewhat chiseled and sloped edge can be observed, with large round circular scars on one side, and a subtly anisotropic surface on the other. It has notable lateral divots and an aboral indent along its edge. The first (gular) oral furrows are generous, and it possesses a deep paraoral adit. C. sanicadium specimen submitted by Field Researcher M. Schatz, who found it in a hospital supply room in Wisconsin.
