Our friend Kris let us know that the creature we found on the shore was a horseshoe crab which is not actually a crab but an arachnid. It can live 20 years and has 4 eyes and blue blood. This species has been around for more than 400 million years without changing much at all so it's called a "living fossil."
So cool. Thanks, Kris!
