| Re: Marine crustacean to identify
It looks to me like the exoskeleton of an isopod. Isopods are decapod crustaceans (including ordinary garden slaters) which are mainly aquatic, and are dorsoventrally flattened like your example. The abdominal segments aren't very clear in your photos, but may be fused I suppose. There should be 7 thoracic (anterior) segments and 5 abdominal segments in a standard isopod. |
