Holy cow! That's awesome! Approximately, how old do you think this Anthropod is?

not quite sure...I can ask my teacher. If this species is as old as dinosaurs I would say a couple of million years? Though not this isopod specifically but the species itself. I wonder how long an isopod's life-span is though

To think these guys were around at the time of the dinosaurs. Neat critter.

isn't it cool to think about? My teacher caught it in the gulf of Mexico. The seas hold so many ancient answers. And thank you
