If you remember a ways back I had stated that scorpions were older than sharks by about 10 million years (430M vs 420M). The horseshoe crab is even older: 450 million years.
Though they are called "crabs" they are not crustaceans. They are arthropods and have more in common with spiders than they do with crabs.
