Here's a pic of part of the shed we got with the white knee. I noticed this black, small structure on the inside of the carapice and I'm wondering what it is and what it's for. The spider shed shows he's about 2" tip-to-tip, tho I have no idea how old it might be.
Thanks for any info! 
I'm always wanting to know more... lol!

I believe the term for that is the fovea. That is where all the internal structures, muscles and such, attach to the exoskeleton for support.
