Description
Anomalocaris were an invertebrate that lived during the Cambrian period. It's one of the extinct invertebrates that scientists couldn't make head or tail of when it was first discovered.

Originally they thought that this creature was actually three different ones- the mouth, jaws and body were supposedly different animals. It wasn't until specimens were found with all of them intact that they came to the conclusion that they were all parts of the same creature.

Colored pencil and ink on cardstock. 1 x 1" in size.
