Crustacea are mainly aquatic carnivorous arthropods whose body and legs are enclosed in a supporting chitinous shell. The body is divisible into head, thorax, and abdomen, but the head and thorax may be fused together into a cephalothorax. The head has two pairs of tactile antennae and three pairs of limbs with food-handling abilities. The walking legs are divided in two and there may be gills for breathing. The last abdominal appendage may become flattened, forming a tail fan with the end spine.
All fossils and minerals come packaged in an attractive box filled with kraft or wood excelsior and includes a descriptive card. This presentation makes a great display and a cool gift!
