A female horseshoe crab that had washed up onto the Cranston shores near the JWU Harborside campus. She seemed to pass of natural causes, and was known to be dead by all limbs intact and full whilst floating upside down and bumping the rocks. This was the first horseshoe crab I have seen this far north (I frequently spot them and their young in Floridian waters)
