Add a one-line explanation of what this file represents
Note: This historical image is not a factually accurate paleontological restoration.

Reason: Lacking head sclerites (evident in Anomalocaris); regular and smooth oral cone (irregular and grooved in Anomalocaris); frontal appendages with too few segments (14 in Anomalocaris).

You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the image review page of Wikiproject Palaeontology on the English Wikipedia. Note that this image may be appropriate to illustrate obsolete paleontological views.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: On the Burgess Shale's top shelf is a model of the biggest predator of its time. Anomalacaris was a fossil mystery when its various body parts were strewn about in its Rocky Mountain quarry. Then a complete entity was unearthed in China and paleontologists realized they had a spectacularly discombobulated fossil kit some 25 cm in length. Deep within the saurian saturation in the Royal Tyrrell Museum outside Drumheller Alberta is an excellent Burgess Shale corner which includes the monster of the early Cambrian era. inaturalist.org/taxa/333148-Anomalocaris
