that is almost definitely a squid eye. Or the MF-ing Kraken! Otherwise, I have no EYE-dea.

Very likely a squid's pupil. Somewhere out there there's a one-eyed giant calamari.

biologist just needs a sample for DNA test to determine what marine specie it belongs....

Giant Squid Eye...

Scientists have known about the existence of a species of squid that is reported to be significantly larger than the giant squid, but had not seen or collected a complete specimen of the Colossal squid, named Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni. This species of squid was first identified in 1925 after two arms were recovered from a sperm whale's stomach. In 2003 a virtually intact specimen of this never-before-seen colossal squid had been brought up in Antarctic waters from an estimated depth of 2,000 to 2,200 meters. And recently, in February of 2007 a live colossal squid was brought to the surface in Antarctic waters by a New Zealand fishing boat. This time video was taken and the squid was captured for scientific study. This enormous squid, which was determined to be a male of the species, was 10 meters (32.8 feet), and weighed 1,089 pounds, making it the largest squid (the largest invertebrate) ever captured. What was even more astonishing is that, from what scientists know about squid species in general, there is great sexual dimorphism in squids, with females being significantly larger than the males. If that holds true for the Colossal squid, this male specimen that was captured could very well be dwarfed by a much larger female of the species.

Release the kraken . . . .

Whatever it was it was big... and whatever ripped it's eyeball out was probably even bigger. It'll be interesting to find out whether or not scientists manage to identify this ocular behemoth.
