Still_human Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Is this an anomalocaris appendage? It was labeled as resembling an anomalocaris appendage, but Ive never seen one that looked like this, and I feel like Ive seen something else similar to this before. *wheeler shale, Utah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I think it could be. Lets see what @piranha thinks. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Miocene_Mason Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Looks very much like one to me 1 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Amateur Paleontologist Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 If it is, go for it - I don't know of much anomalocaridid material available for sale... That'd be amazing, though -Christian Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy! Q. Where do dinosaurs study? A. At Khaan Academy!...

It looks too feathery to me, so I didn't think it was the common 'caris, whatever that species is, or one of the other more common types, cause i know what their appendages look like, but I know there's also filter feeding species, and close relatives, so I could definitely see it being one of those.

John Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Definitely an anomalocaridid (yeah, that's the correct spelling) appendage. Several species are known from the Wheeler, but none of them are very well defined. 1 “When you're riding in a time machine way far into the future, don't stick your elbow out the window, or it'll turn into a fossil.” - Jack Handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
