One of the more amazing preserved specimens I've seen was owned by Jim
Pitts back in the early '70s. It was a sculpin that had made the mistake of
trying to eat a small catfish head-first. Apparently, the catfish managed
to deploy at least one of his spikes, causing both predator and prey to die
stuck that way. Wish I'd taken a photo of 'em.
