Fossildude19 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Gery,I think it is another fern.It just has not totally unrolled yet.Anamalocaris was a Cambrian creature.Regards, Edited December 27, 2014 by Fossildude19 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Shamalama Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Maybe Anomalocarids evolved into... Tree Ferns? -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave.

Fossildude19 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Gery, Sorry, I thought you were refering to the claw looking fern frond. To me, that other section looks more plant-like, than arthropod-ish. Maybe some decorticated bark? I do not see any dimples/stippling as you normally do on arthropod material.

Auspex Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Maybe we mean arthropleura?
