Anomalocaris first Super Predator
Anomalocaris lived in the Cambrian Period...this was the first Period of the Paleozoic Era. "Paleozoic" means "Old Life." During the Cambrian Period all life was in the ocean. We went to the Living Planet Aquarium yesterday and we saw the below drawing of an Anomalocaris. Of course they do not have a living Anomalocaris there. The species has been extinct for around 500 million years.
We have also seen actual fossils of Anomalocaris in Canada's Yoho National Park...from the Burgess Shale fossil bed. We have also seen these fossils in Venice. Yes there are more than canals and gondolas in Venice. The below models of Anomalocaris and the fosslized arm of Anomalocaris...are from the Natural History Museum of Venice in Venice Italy.
