Anomalocaris Pins and Buttons

A showcase of some of the new anomalocaris relatives that have been found in the last few years

Anomalocaris were strange predators from the Cambrian period. Their most distinctive features were the large, jointed Great Appendages that they used to catch their prey

Anomalocaris' are extinct, but by having this design close to your heart, you show compassion to the prehistoric sea dweller.

Anomalocaris

This illustration depicts Anomalocaris, among the first of the great apex predators to swim the Earth's oceans. Though it was not overly large by present standards, back in the Cambrian Period it was a giant! Fossils of this famous animal have been found in rock formations throughout the world, most notably the Burgess Shale.

This is a pattern depicting Anomalocaris along with the three fossils that are associated with it. The fossils, which were originally thought to belong to separate animals, were ultimately found to be parts of a single animal. Anomalocaris was among the first of the great apex predators to swim the Earth's oceans. Though it was not overly large by present standards, back in the Cambrian Period it was a giant! Fossils of this famous animal have been found in rock formations throughout the world, most notably the Burgess Shale.

This illustration depicts three fossils, which were originally identified individually, but were ultimately found to be parts from a single, large animal: Anomalocaris! Anomalocaris was among the first of the great apex predators to swim the Earth's oceans. Though it was not overly large by present standards, back in the Cambrian Period it was a giant! Fossils of this famous animal have been found in rock formations throughout the world, most notably the Burgess Shale.

Anomalocaris ("unusual shrimp") is a genus of Anomalocarida, a group of extinct, marine, invertebrate animals with no fixed systematic classification, possibly related to the arthropods (Arthropoda). Anomalocaris was the largest animal known from that time in the Early and Middle Cambrian Period (530 to 501 million years ago), with a length of between 60 and 120 centimeters.

Anomalocaris! Cute design fitting for people who loves prehistoric animals. It can be given as a Birthday gift or Christmas gift! Design is also fitting in time for Dinosaur Day (June 1) and National Fossil Day (October 13)!

This is an experimental, duotone illustration of Anomalocaris, among the first of the great apex predators to swim the Earth's oceans. We don't know how well duotone illustrations will perform in this medium, but hopefully it will look great! Please contact us if you have any questions or comments.

A tribe of, perhaps, evolved sapient Anomalocaris during the Cambrian.

Unknowable ancient being from the ancient Cambrian Period. Owned zero collectables. Would have loved Flashdance.

Bionic anomalocaridids! There are two of each species of anomalocaridid, including Anomalocaris, Laggania (or Peyotia), Schinderhannes and Amplectobelua. Hopefully I’ve got all of those right, I haven’t checked them so they might not be. The colours were based mainly on nudibranches, although the two Hurdia (the ones with the shell thing coming out of their faces) were based on crabs and the Anomalocaris in the foreground was based on a mantis shrimp

Cambrian explosion

Coronacollina was an organism who lived between 560 and 550 million years ago, in the Pre-Cambrian, or Ediacaran. Like many other life forms in this time, it is unknown if it was truly a plant, or an animal, or even something else. It expresses tri-radial symmetry on the top of its mound, though it has four long sticks connected to it.

This is Anomalocaris - the extinct abnormal shrimp of the Cambrian Seas

Utaurora celebratign Trans Pride! Utaurora is a relative of the Cambrian weirdo Opabinia. It's back was covered with filamentous gills that gave it a fuzzy appearance.

Aegirocassis celebrating nonbinary pride! Aegirocassis was a relative of Anomalocaris that filter-fed on plankton like a whale using its large head shield and baleen-like Great Appendages

Welcome to Cambrian Park. Come for a safari and visit the Anomalocaris the most dangerous creature of the Cambrian period the beginning of the Paleozoic era, lasting from 541 million to 485.4 million years ago. See the prehistoric sponge forests named bob and all of his other friends the first multi-cellular life on Earth. See Earth life under the sea before the time of plants with copy left bubbles. Impress your friends with geeky prehistoric graphic design movie puns while looking good.

Opabinia regalis is an extinct, stem group arthropod found in the Middle Cambrian Burgess Shale Lagerstätte (505 million years ago) of British Columbia.
