Small and nearly featureless. Size 6.6mm x 3.7mm.
Specimen discovered in Connecticut by amateur occlupanologist K. Stone at the Small Plastics and Occlupanid Reserve (SPOR). But for its discovery attached to the dial of a “Caribbean Joe” brand watch, this curious “micro-occlupanid” would have escaped any scholarly attention. Named after the traditional high headdress of the women of Breton.
