Description

Small glass jar with a blue plastic lid. On the jar is a paper label in black and white, with an indistinct image (appears to be a photograph) of foliage, perhaps, or a landscape, or rock. In the lower right corner, “Mystery Flux Animal” is printed between two concentric circles. The bottom of the glass is stamped with “21520” (with the “1” inside of a circle). Inside the jar is what appears to be the decomposed remains of a small animal, perhaps its digestive system. The color is brownish, with some dark gray sections. There appears to be a worm or tail-like appendage attached. The object cannot be removed from the jar without force.
