This preserved bloodworm (Glycera spp.) is a formalin-preserved marine invertebrate specimen commonly used in classrooms and laboratories to study annelid anatomy and marine biology. Its segmented body structure and specialized feeding apparatus make it an excellent model for invertebrate anatomy and comparative biology instruction.
Specimen Details
Common name: Bloodworm
Scientific name: Glycera spp.
Size: Varies by specimen
Preservation method: Formalin-preserved
Habitat: Marine sediments (burrowing polychaete)
Collection method: Hand-collected
Quantity: Sold individually
Educational Applications
Commonly used in marine biology, invertebrate zoology, and comparative anatomy courses, this specimen supports instruction in segmented body organization, musculature, and feeding adaptations of annelid worms. Students can examine anatomical features characteristic of polychaete worms.
Anatomical Features
Segmented annelid body plan
Well-defined musculature and parapodia
Distinct head region with eversible proboscis
Suitable for invertebrate anatomy and marine biology study
Sourcing & Preservation
Specimens are responsibly sourced from marine environments and preserved in formalin to maintain anatomical integrity for long-term educational use and repeated classroom handling.
Note: This is a preserved marine invertebrate specimen. Natural variations in size, color, and appearance should be expected. For bulk or institutional orders, please contact info@gulfofme.com.
