: : I showed the pic to a professor friend of mine. It's not the greatest of photos, but he doubts it;s an anomalocaris. I would be very interested in knowing who identified this specimen as anomalocaris. It is found in the Marble Mountains, but there have only ever been 2 (I think...maybe even just 1) anomalocaris ever found, to my knowledge. Both were from Burgess. There was an "anomalocaris" being sold a few years back from Utah, but it was most likely a sea cucumber...very rare nonetheless, but not an anomalocaris. I trust the friend who is i.d.'ing these...he's about the number 2 or 3 trilo guy in the world. This would be great if it was an anomalocaris....I'd really love to know how the identification was arrived at. As well, if it is, I have a lot of material I would be interested in trading for it!
: There have been much more than just two anomalocaris fossils ever found. Read "The Fossils from the Burgess Shale" by D.E. Briggs et al,1994. Several Anomalocaris specimen fragments have been found at the Marble Mountains in the past, but not as much as in the Burgess. UC Berkley has all that documented in several papers. For the ones interested in learning more about Anomalocaris, visit the website below.
: PS. Michael, why don't you ask the trade show booth guy directly. Why do you insist in using this forum as your communication media?
Maybe Michael doesn't want to register... a bit more info on anomalocaris from the marble mountains, info by UC BERKELEY (note spelling Peter)...
