Angled corners with small process on central aboral edge. 23 mm x 20.9 mm.
Discovered in a shipment of protective laboratory gloves by field researcher C. Cody of Oregon. While often such gloves would be shipped in a cardboard tube, one fateful shipment arrived with the tube swaddled in a large plastic bag, with Chirophragma necopinus attached. It is Cody’s working theory that some unknown entity predates on the bag and occlupanid during its postal migration, but that this lucky specimen evaded capture.
