117P18 is an unnamed period -18 oscillator . It was the first period 18 oscillator to be found,[note 1] and was discovered by David Buckingham no later than May, 1991 .[1]
It consists of two extended snackers and two blocks used to hassle an R-pentomino .

Notes
↑ A nontrivial period-18 oscillator, such as unix on snacker , could have been constructed from two oscillators of lower period (such as p6 and p9), both of which were known by an earlier date. However, no such LCM oscillators were attested prior to the discovery of this oscillator in 1991.
