This is what 600 million years of relentless predation will do for ya, folks.

Nothing to see here. These aren’t the . . . whatevers . . . we’re looking for. Move along.

Guesses on the identity of this bad boy over at DSN ranged from some sort of cnidarian (like a soft coral or anemone) to a sea cucumber or even some sort of fancy sea turtle extra-option package. Your guess is as good as mine. Anyone here want to take a (groan) poke?
