Anomalocaris ("unusual shrimp") is a genus of Anomalocarida, a group of extinct, marine, invertebrate animals with no fixed systematic classification, possibly related to the arthropods (Arthropoda). Anomalocaris was the largest animal known from that time in the Early and Middle Cambrian Period (530 to 501 million years ago), with a length of between 60 and 120 centimeters.

Hello all geologists, paleontologists, and science lovers! Deck out your water bottle or your laptop with this stylized fossil trilobite in sunset colors. Trilobites roamed ancient seas from the Cambrian to the Permian, protected by their hard exoskeletons!

The perfect gift for the scientist in your life

This is a depiction of the fossil hallucigenia, a Cambrian era ancestor of today’s velvet worms. Hallucigenia fossils were originally discovered in the Burgess Shale, a famous Cambrian-age fossil deposit in the Canadian Rockies. Paleontologists have been very confused about how to classify this lovely little worm as it was unclear whether it’s protective spikes were legs or it’s wobbly legs were tentacles!

This design is of a wonderfully odd creature that was alive during the Cambrian period. The creature actually existed all those years ago. The fossil remains of the Tully monster can be found throughout Pennsylvania and Illinois.

Utaurora celebratign Trans Pride! Utaurora is a relative of the Cambrian weirdo Opabinia. It's back was covered with filamentous gills that gave it a fuzzy appearance.

This illustration depicts three fossils, which were originally identified individually, but were ultimately found to be parts from a single, large animal: Anomalocaris! Anomalocaris was among the first of the great apex predators to swim the Earth's oceans. Though it was not overly large by present standards, back in the Cambrian Period it was a giant! Fossils of this famous animal have been found in rock formations throughout the world, most notably the Burgess Shale.

Aegirocassis celebrating nonbinary pride! Aegirocassis was a relative of Anomalocaris that filter-fed on plankton like a whale using its large head shield and baleen-like Great Appendages
