presence of an eye stalk, acroaspis lacks that trait :)

@LyndalT possibly a new one! The only other Acroaspis olorina is the one I found near kings ave, but this might be a different new one (Poltys sp).
@EathanDouglas / @MichaelMulvaney is there a particular angle you need to see to confirm? There's a chance we can find it again as it was in the same spot a week after I saw it.

the first image depicts the eye tubercule quite well, acroaspis lacks the eye stalk although they look similar to poltys besides it.
