Unless I'm mistaken, the brown armorlike, peaked carapaces shed along shorelines change color in the sun -- resembling the reddish-white coloration patterns of certain fish. [in Stuart, FL]

Yes!-- a genuine horseshoe crab exoskeleton, three inches long total size, west spoil island beneath the Lyons Bridge, Indian River Lagoon in Martin County, FL. Specimen may be a plant or discard, as other true crab remains have been in that area, within mangrove cluster proximity.

A few days ago, horseshoe crab exoskeleton lacking everything but horned shed carapace, about four inches wide x four inches long -- resembling a mask and is possibly a plant -- observed on west spoil island beneath Lyons Bridge near Sewall's Point, FL. Half stone crab with claw rolling in shoreline water nearby, also a possible plant from catch elsewhere or supermarket.

(continued from #3) This past Friday on east island beneath Lyons Bridge near Hutchinson Island: what appears to be the same horeshoe-crab mask-like casting observed on shoreline northside following days of prevailing westward winds (previous sighting also northside on west island shoreline). The total absence of all other body-part castings does suggest a plant, because the casting is not damaged.
