You’re supposed to be the expert, Doc. There is a reason there are too few floating around the web.
They live in the ocean, not the web!

In the odd fashion of free association which I am helpless to explain*, this picture calls to mind an old B.C. comic strip.
BC is looking at a small stone as Thor walks up. BC says, “Hey, Thor. Here’s a rock with the impression of a bug on it.”
Thor looks thoughtfully at the stone and then says, “Wow! Imagine how fast that sucker must have been going!”
*unless it’s got something to do with how fast these suckers are going. Hauling, er . . . siphon!

And there was me thinking a flying squid couldn’t get any cooler. Well, you showed me.
