It's the nickname of a mollusk or chiton.
"Cryptochiton stelleri" are a type of mollusk known as a chiton that have earned the nickname “wandering meatloaf” for their reddish-brown color and ovoid shape. That is not the end of their weirdness, however, with the discovery their teeth are made of an iron-based mineral previously only seen in rocks.
