Item Includes: 1 vacuum sealed atlantic hagfish (Myxine glutinosa), free shipping included
Primitive Vertebrate Study – Preserved Atlantic Hagfish (Myxine glutinosa): High-quality formalin-preserved jawless fish specimen, ideal for studying early vertebrate anatomy, chordate evolution, and unique physiology. Perfect for classroom labs, dissection, and species identification.
Hands-On Evolutionary Biology Learning: Excellent for students exploring primitive chordates, marine biology, and vertebrate evolution. Great for homeschool kits, lab activities, and museum educational displays.
Fascinating Traits for Study: Hagfish are jawless, cranium-bearing animals without spinal columns. When threatened, they secrete slime rapidly, tie themselves in knots for escape or feeding, and have hearts that can beat for hours without oxygen using fats.
Ready-to-Use Educational Specimen: Collected and preserved in formalin to maintain anatomical detail and long-term structural integrity. Sealed for freshness and classroom-ready.
Best Educational Value: Each specimen measures 8–12 inches, ideal for 1–2 students per dissection. Supports evolutionary biology training, museum exhibits, and species identification. Sustainably collected by Gulf of Maine, Inc.
