Item Includes: 1 vacuum sealed preserved northern sea star, free shipping included
Echinoderm Anatomy – Preserved Northern Sea Star (Asterias vulgaris): High-quality formalin-preserved sea star specimen for studying marine invertebrate anatomy, tube feet locomotion, stomach eversion, and arm regeneration. Ideal for classroom labs, dissection, and species identification.
Hands-On Marine Biology Learning: Perfect for students exploring marine invertebrates, oceanography, and comparative anatomy. Great for homeschool science kits, lab exercises, and museum educational displays.
Discover Fascinating Traits: Sea stars move using hundreds of tube feet, extend their stomachs to digest prey, and can regenerate lost arms. Each arm even has an eye spot for light detection.
Ready-to-Use Educational Specimen: Collected by hand in Maine 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 5–8 inches, ideal for 1–2 students per dissection. Supports marine biology training, species identification programs, and museum exhibits. Sustainably collected by Gulf of Maine, Inc.
