Can anyone identify this insect?

At work the other day, my boss and I found an insect that we had never seen before. We called the local university, and got transferred to a pest control place which charged $20 to identify an insect. We didn’t want to spend that sort of money, so we took pictures of it, and now I’m asking you guys. Does anyone have any ideas?

Here is a link to the photos of it. It’s roughly the size of a silver dollar, maybe a little bigger.
