    It's the ventral (belly) view of a Horseshoe Crab. This is a very primitive species of crab that's still alive today. They have existed since before the Dinosaurs. It is really not that unusual to see them nowadays.

    Well it is not a fish. Some kind of arthropod, maybe deep water crab. Looks similar to a horseshoe crab. I can assure everyone it is NOT a horseshoe crab.

    Would be helpful if there was some info to go with the picture.
