The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reports that a man found the blue eyeball Wednesday in Pompano Beach. It wasn't immediately clear what species of animal the eye came from.

Where does it say "experts" don't know what it is?



But officials placed it on ice, planning to have it analyzed at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in St. Petersburg.


It hasn't been examined by "experts" yet.

Sorry, my bad.
I simply supposed that the Fish and Wildlife Commission would have experts in a state surrounded by ocean who may have known what this eyeball used to be attached to.
So, correction -- the Fish and Wildlife Commission has no oceanic experts.

Pics or it didn't happen!

I wanna see this thing. Surprised the local news station doesn't have a pic already.

Edit: Well, this thread moves fast! The pic appeared in-thread as I was posting!

First impression - Marlin, or some other billfish. Swordfish are nocturnal, large eyes.

Giant squid eyes are said to be flatter and about the size of dinner plates.
{If they truly exist as big as speculated}
