Very random, but do you still have that container around? Would love to take a look at at the tab on it, I believe it could be a variant which we are still yet to have record of!

Litter ain't beautiful but this can is, love the red on the tab, wish I could get a better look!!

As much as I love a Stay-Tab, this is the one benefit of the older pull tabs lol

The tab here is Attenuatis cyclopsos (Designated S-III-2 by Pull Tab Archaeology).

Thanks for this! Especially for including the info on the reverse of the can, interesting to see. Cool to see that this can is manufactured by CanPack, not what I was expecting TBH! All useful data to have, I'll make sure to put it down should anything be useful in the future.

All classifications subject to change, but you can check them out as they stand here!
TL;DR, it's a load of nerdy stuff

This showed up while browsing the search term 'ring pull' and I'd normally just ignore stuff like this (I've seen far weirder), but MAN 😭

Plenty of beautiful Parvum foramen and Clausa bulba specimens. Love this!!

Not a clue, but very nice Parvum foramen specimen there!

A can without a pull tab is like an angel without its wings

Made from two lovely Parvum fabaforaminis (Family Duoforaminis) specimens!

Two really nice tabs, I keep seeing these little Nitri guys showing up!

On the left is Parvum foramen of the family Duoforaminis, and the right Clausa faba. Take good care of those dudes for us!

At the moment, we haven't a clue! NCG researchers are yet to find a specimen, this photo is the only register we currently have of its existence. Definitely one to look out for!

Tough question! Not sure about impressive, but my four picks would probably be these:

2. A spiral top in-situ, still attached to a can of Motor Oil, credit to the amazing Voyager Annelid! Only confirmed hosts so far are a Maple Syrup can and the afformentioned automotive product.

If only the tab was still intact, though we could probably predict it to be a couple of different styles from around the late 50s - early 60s.

Pictured below are the common U-Tabs, and rarer on these, Pull-Tabs, courtesy of one of our friends in Canada!
