This preserved sandworm (Nereis spp.) is a formalin-preserved marine annelid specimen commonly used in classrooms and laboratories to study polychaete anatomy and marine biology. Its segmented body plan and well-developed parapodia make it an excellent model for invertebrate anatomy and comparative biology instruction.
Specimen Details
Common name: Sandworm
Scientific name: Nereis spp.
Size: 8–12 inches
Preservation method: Formalin-preserved
Habitat: Marine sediments and intertidal zones
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, locomotion, and feeding adaptations of annelid worms. Students can examine anatomical features characteristic of polychaete annelids.
Anatomical Features
Segmented annelid body structure
Well-defined parapodia with setae
Distinct head region with sensory appendages
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.
