Spikey Shell Identification - happy-and-cute - 09-20-2017
Can anyone identify this spikey, peculiar shell?

Hi "happy-and-cute",
it´s not part of a mollusc, but a "carapax" of some sort of crustacean.
Kind regards: wolf

Dear Wolf, thanks for your help.
It must be a spider crab, the species of Maja Squinado.
