The Lophozozymus Incisus - Preserved Angular Crab Specimen

Real Preserved Crab with Sharp Ridges and Distinctive Character

Actual Lophozozymus Incisus crab specimen preserved and mounted for display. Distinguished by pronounced angular shell features and defined edges. Natural coloring and structure preserved. Rare species for specialized collections. Each specimen unique.

Species Information

Lophozozymus Incisus
Marine crab species notable for sharply defined carapace features. Shell exhibits pronounced ridges, angular edges, and geometric patterns. Surface texture more dramatic than smooth-shelled species.

Distinctive appearance creates visual interest and "personality" among preserved specimens. Sharp architectural quality to shell structure.

Natural Characteristics
Shell features include: raised ridges running across carapace, defined edges separating shell regions, angular rather than rounded contours, pronounced surface texture, geometric patterns in shell plating.

Coloring varies naturally by individual. Typically includes earth tones, browns, creams, possible red or orange accents depending on specimen.

Rarity
Less commonly available than standard crab specimens. Sought by collectors appreciating distinctive shell architecture and unusual species. "Rare good crab" designation indicates collector-grade quality.

Specimen Preparation

Preservation Process
Real crab cleaned, preserved, and dried for permanent display. Shell features and angular characteristics maintained. Positioned to showcase distinctive ridges and edges.

Not alive. Not edible. Preserved biological specimen for collection and display purposes only.

Mounting and Position
Specimen positioned to display shell architecture. Dorsal view shows ridge patterns and angular features. Front view emphasizes facial structure and claw form.

May be mounted on base or positioned freestanding (verify with supplier).

Condition Notes
Natural specimen may show: color variations from preservation, minor shell imperfections, natural asymmetries, variation in ridge prominence. These are normal characteristics of real biological specimens.

Distinctive Features

Sharp Angular Edges
Defining characteristic. Shell regions separated by pronounced edges creating geometric appearance. Ridges run across carapace in defined patterns.

Not smooth or rounded. Angular architectural quality distinguishes species from typical crab forms.

Surface Texture
Raised features, grooves, and ridges create complex surface topology. Shell more three-dimensional than flat smooth species.

Light creates shadows along ridges emphasizing texture and depth.

Character and Personality
Distinctive appearance gives individual character. Sharp features create imposing or dramatic presence. Architectural shell structure appeals to those appreciating geometric natural forms.

Size varies naturally between individuals. Specimens selected for good condition and pronounced ridge features.

Weight:
Varies by shell thickness and size. Dried shell relatively lightweight.

Display Characteristics

Visual Appeal
Angular shell architecture creates sculptural quality. Sharp edges and ridges catch light creating shadow patterns. Geometric appearance appeals to design-conscious collectors.

Viewing Angles
Dorsal view best displays ridge patterns and angular carapace structure. Side view shows edge definition. Multiple angles reveal architectural complexity.

Can be displayed under glass dome, in shadow box, on open surface, or in specimen collection case.

Educational Value
Demonstrates natural shell architecture variations. Shows protective adaptations through angular features. Scientific specimen suitable for marine biology education and natural history collections.

Natural Variations Notice

Each Specimen Unique:
Real biological specimens show natural variations in: overall size, ridge prominence, exact shell contours, color intensity, surface texture detail, edge definition.

Product photos show example specimens. Your specimen will have similar but not identical appearance.

Rarity Factor:
Less commonly available species. Specimens selected for distinctive ridge features and good overall condition. Collector-grade quality.

Customized Nature:
Each piece individually selected and prepared. Due to natural variation and rarity, specimens not eligible for return based on appearance differences or minor natural characteristics.

Care Instructions

Display Environment:
Keep in dry environment. Avoid high humidity (can cause deterioration). Room temperature stable storage. Keep away from direct sunlight (fades colors over time).

Cleaning:
Dust gently with soft brush or compressed air. Ridges and grooves may trap dust. Use brush to clean textured areas. Do not use water or chemicals.

Handling:
Fragile. Sharp edges and ridges can be delicate. Handle by body, not legs or extended features. Dried appendages can break if pressure applied.

Longevity:
Properly preserved and stored specimens last indefinitely. Protect from pests, moisture, and physical damage.
