YXWYX Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Here presents two Leanchoilia sp. from Morocco: Left one is dorsal view and the second one is later view. It shares almost the same features as the common type. Edited February 17, 2020 by YXWYX 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same applies to Anomalocaris too Here is a typical Cambrian leanchoilia I have: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leanchoilia is just one of them. I Haven't heard of Anomalocaris being found here (yet), though i wouldn't be surprised, but we do have another anomalocaridid Aegirocassis. Life's Good!

I knew about Burgess Shale-like taxa being present in Fezouata. I guess my question was more are the “Leanchoilia” found there assigned to Leanchoilia or a different genus?

Tidgy's Dad Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 They are named as Leancholia or as a leanchoillid, or as Leancholia-like but how officially I am unaware. I doubt that a new species has been described yet, but the genus may be accepted or not, though it is used even if informally. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

Can't remember exactly the name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the only certain anomalocaridid is the Aegirocassis benmoulai. However they are so many different forms of 'claws' discovered from Fezouata 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
