This squid was found among 80,000 deep-sea organisms collected from the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a chain of undersea mountains halfway between Europe and North America.This new, unusual type of squid was named Promachoteuthis sloan. The shape of its beak suggests the squid is a powerful chewer.
