Horseshoe Crabs: Living Fossils

Description

Horseshoe crabs are the oldest living fossils dating back more than 450 million years. Let's look at what makes them unique and how they are different from true crabs.

Mass Audubon is grateful for the generosity of the Duxbury Beach Reservation Inc. for funding this annual series and for their service and dedication to protecting the critical resource we know as Duxbury Beach.

Checking registration status.
