Anomalocaris ("unlike other shrimp", or "abnormal shrimp") is an extinct genus of radiodont, an order of early-diverging stem-group marine arthropods.. It is best known from the type species A. canadensis, found in the Stephen Formation (particularly the Burgess Shale) of British Columbia, Canada.
Size estimation and comparison of radiodont species known by nearly complete specimens. Most radiodonts were significantly larger than the other Cambrian fauna, with typical body lengths of large taxa varying from 30 to 50 cm (12 to 20 in). [12]
Echidnacaris briggsi is an extinct species of radiodont known from the Cambrian Stage 4 aged Emu Bay Shale of Australia.Formerly referred to as "Anomalocaris" briggsi, it was placed in the new monotypic genus Echidnacaris in 2023. [1]
Anomalocaris was an aquatic apex predator, in the Cambrian. Its mouthparts are clearly predatory, and there were no larger animals in the seas at that time. [32] Carnivorous theropod dinosaurs including Allosaurus [33] and Tyrannosaurus [34] are theorized to have been apex predators, based on their size, morphology, and dietary needs.
Laminacaris size diagram. The large frontal appendage is the most prominent and distinctive feature in Cambrian arthropods. [3] [4] The largest frontal appendage of Laminacaris (YKLP 13338) is around 28 cm (11 in) long, which would have belonged to an individual between 53.2–78.4 cm (20.9–30.9 in) long, based on proportion of Innovatiocaris (which is once treated as "Anomalocaris" saron). [5]
A 2022 analysis did an adjusted indirect treatment comparison (meaning the medications’ effects from other studies were compared rather than testing both in one study).
