A re-examination of the energy cosmic ray spectrum above $10^{20}$ eV is
presented. The overall data-base provides evidence, albeit still statistically
limited, that non-nucleon primaries could be present at the end of the
spectrum. In particular, the possible appearance of superheavy nuclei (seldom
discussed in the literature) is analysed in detail.
