Query: Multi-PeV Signals from a New Astrophysical Neutrino Flux Beyond the
  Glashow Resonance   The IceCube neutrino discovery was punctuated by three showers with $E_\nu$ ~
1-2 PeV. Interest is intense in possible fluxes at higher energies, though a
marked deficit of $E_\nu$ ~ 6 PeV Glashow resonance events implies a spectrum
that is soft and/or cutoff below ~few PeV. However, IceCube recently reported a
through-going track event depositing 2.6 $\pm$ 0.3 PeV. A muon depositing so
much energy can imply $E_{\nu_\mu} \gtrsim$ 10 PeV. We show that extending the
soft $E_\nu^{-2.6}$ spectral fit from TeV-PeV data is unlikely to yield such an
event. Alternatively, a tau can deposit this much energy, though requiring
$E_{\nu_\tau}$ ~10x higher. We find that either scenario hints at a new flux,
with the hierarchy of $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$ energies suggesting a window
into astrophysical neutrinos at $E_\nu$ ~ 100 PeV if a tau. We address
implications, including for ultrahigh-energy cosmic-ray and neutrino origins.
