This is the most recent complete list of trilobites described with appendages. Six trilobites have a complete record of the antennae and post-antennal limbs. table from: Zeng, H., Zhao, F., Yin, Z., & Zhu, M.

Both of a single anomalocaris' appendages. Possible anomalocaris goo? A speculation I think would be very cool, that the splotchy splatters around appendages could, however likely or unlikely, be anomalocaris "filling" or fragments, since it appears the whole animal was present at the beginning, and maybe included in fossilization, immediately below the edge of this piece, since the 2 appendages are in articulated position.-
