AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Giant, rare specimen of this size of Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda, commonly called the horseshoe crab, a marine arthropod whose history dates back more than 450 million years.
This species, often described as a 'living fossil', has changed little since prehistoric times, making it a powerful symbol of evolutionary resilience.
The specimen features the characteristic domed carapace and the long, rigid telson (tail spine), typical of the group.
Horseshoe crabs play a crucial ecological and biomedical role, contributing significantly to marine ecosystems and modern research. Blue-blooded species.
Ideal piece for natural history collections, educational displays, or as a decorative element to place on a pedestal.
