Permanently embedded in a transparent, crystal-clear acrylic resin block (164 × 78 × 24 mm), this authentic biological preparation presents an intact real squid (Order: Teuthida) in full ventral orientation. Prominently titled \\\"Squid Conformation\\\" across the top, the specimen features 10 targeted numerical pointer labels that guide comprehensive study of cephalopod external structures: the central oral mass and beak region (1), large sensory eyes (2), eight circumoral arms with sucker rows (3), elongated tentacular clubs with terminal sucker pads (4), paired extensible feeding tentacles (5), muscular funnel \/ siphon for jet propulsion (6), collar \/ mantle edge locking mechanism (7), anterior mantle opening (8), elongated torpedo-shaped muscular mantle with natural chromatophore pigment patterning (9), and lateral stabilizing \/ swimming fins (10). Encased in solid optical acrylic, this specimen delivers 360-degree, distortion-free viewing of soft-bodied mollusc structures without alcohol jars, formalin fumes, or delicate specimen degradation. An essential teaching visual aid for marine biology lectures, invertebrate zoology classrooms, comparative anatomy laboratories, and coastal science curio displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY YOU'LL LOVE IT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✦ \u003cstrong\u003eAuthentic Pelagic Cephalopod Specimen\u003c\/strong\u003e – Preserves a real squid permanently in clear optical resin with intact mantle, tentacles, arms, and fins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✦ \u003cstrong\u003e10 Systematic Anatomical Pointer Labels\u003c\/strong\u003e – Clean numbered pointers (1–10) clearly identify the mouth, eyes, arms, tentacular clubs, tentacles, siphon, collar, mantle opening, mantle, and fins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✦ \u003cstrong\u003eNatural Chromatophore Pigment Patterns\u003c\/strong\u003e – Beautifully showcases authentic skin pigmentation and coloration across the torpedo-shaped mantle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✦ \u003cstrong\u003eComplete Tentacular \u0026amp; Propulsion Structures\u003c\/strong\u003e – Displays both 8 sessile arms and 2 elongated feeding tentacles alongside the muscular jet siphon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✦ \u003cstrong\u003eOptical-Grade Acrylic Monolith\u003c\/strong\u003e – Solid 164 × 78 × 24 mm transparent resin block provides sharp, distortion-free 360-degree observation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✦ \u003cstrong\u003ePermanent, Clean \u0026amp; Odorless\u003c\/strong\u003e – Durable acrylic casing seals the delicate marine specimen forever, eliminating preservation liquids, odors, and fragile handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✦ \u003cstrong\u003eEssential Marine Zoology Teaching Aid\u003c\/strong\u003e – An ideal hands-on visual resource for marine biology curricula, STEM science education, and collector curio shelves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePERFECT FOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarine biologists, oceanography educators, invertebrate zoology students, high school and university science labs, coastal science centers, and distinctive natural history gift collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e E1507\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecimen:\u003c\/strong\u003e Real Squid (Teuthida \/ Cephalopoda \/ Mollusca)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optical-Grade Acrylic Resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 164 × 78 × 24 mm (approx. 6.5 × 3.1 × 0.9 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crystal Clear with Natural Specimen\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertical Rectangular Block with 10 Numbered Anatomical Pointers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Notice: Price is for retail.
