Hi my name is William, As I don't have much to show yet. I will soon. I have this cool Ammonite fossil that I plan on 3D modeling and animating and will post on the forums when finished. I am also working on an Anomalocaris, and a Hallucigenia. Cambrian animals. Hoping to have Anomalocaris concept finished this weekend. Stay tuned. Thanks, William This is the 3D Scan of my Ammonite fossil. Actual fossil and size comparison. Hallucigenia concept. The back end of this guy I felt to me was an air sac to help it attach itself to rocks like a suction cup. If that is the back end? My spread of how I want my Anomalocaris to look like. As far as what I can see according to its fossil record the eye sockets extrude out on its sides. I gave its fins an even symmetry on both sides in a diamond shape as a whole. The fossil looks like it shows otherwise and I have seen some with symmetry. I think as it was fossilized I believe it was turning to cause a foreshortening on the imprint of the fossil I see. Not sure... that's why i'm on here.

From the album: Anomalocaris and friends.
A large grasping appendage of the Chinese Anomalocaridid, Amplectobelua symbrachiata. A cousin of the Anomalocaris. This grasper is a very large example at 89mm. From the Maotianshan Shales in Chengjiang. Lower Cambrian, ~525Ma.- 2 comments

Hi! After seeing some great paleo art here I thought I'll give it a go. Here's a little drawing I knocked up. Its the first drawing I did since about 6years old. Its only a rough sketch but its supposed to be an Amplectobelua symbrachiata chasing an Elrathia trilobite. I tried to make it is as anatomically correct as I could. Down to the correct number of body segments and grasper podomeres. (the spots are artistic license!)

This is a great (not quite accurate) model of an Anomalocaris that I got for Xmas. Now when visitors ask "what's that smudge on that rock?", instead of pulling up a pic I can simply show them the model. -

My best fossil. The Anomalocaridid, Amplectobelua symbrachiata feeding appendage with a trilobite curiously attached to the end. Amplectobelua predation on trilobites or trilobite predation on a dead Amplectobelua? From Chengjiang.- 12 comments

This small fossil is from Chengjiang and was labelled as "Anomalocaris mouth" by seller. He's been wrong before and I'm rather skeptical about that interpretation. Any ideas, anyone?

Anomalocaris? Or something else...
ElToro posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This a great lesson about problems with identification. This is a genuine Cambrian fossil but was identified as "Anomalocaris roulette mouth". Thanks to a member of this forum I was put in touch with Dr Allison Daley from Oxford, a leading Anomalocaris expert from the Burgess Shale. The Doc confirmed to me that it was not Anomalocaris, but Omnidens Amplus, a Cambrian predator worm. I mentioned this to the seller and supplied an article on distinguishing the two, and got the Omnidens for 2\3 price! Love it.- 11 replies

I recently purchased this from a Chinese dealer (a reputable and knowledgeable dude unlike many from that part of the world). Im fairly certain its an Anomalocaris with some teeth clearly visible. I think the long horizontal impression is one of its graspers. Would like to confirm. Anybody?

This is my most recent sculpture I have made. I sculpt the original in clay. It usualy takes me a few months to complete a sculpture. When I am happy with the piece, I make a silcone mold of it. With the mold, I am able to cast a model in Urethane plastic. Once it is cast I can clean up the piece and I can airbrush it.
