pic of the possible Anomalocarid

Guide is kindly assisting me in hosting this pic of the possible Anomalocarid fossil I found in 1991, a fossil which I gave to Dr. Richard Robison of the University of Kansas to donate to a collection. Through discussions in this forum, I understand now that it may be described by the chief of paleontology at that university. I began to suspect that it might be an Anomalocarid when I saw some illustrations of these wonderful creatures posted by Dr. Gon, and contacted him. He placed my first view on the forum. Now I would like to post a photo that I created by combining the two halves of the impression, that is, both sides of the split rock. I used photos of the specimen that Dr. Robison sent me. You can see where a small ridge of rock was taken off by Dr. Robison or someone else at Kansas to show the middle tail better; compare that with the view I took earlier, which is in the "Unknown beastie!" thread. To combine them I employed astronomy software that normally is used to stack photos and eliminate noise. It allows one to designate two points in each view that will be superimposed, assuring that other parts of the photo will be superimposed also. I purchsed the MaxImDL software for my astronomy photos, and found it works well with fossils too. I found this specimen not too far from Marjum Pass, Millard County, Utah. I contacted the scientist and donated it because I believe rare specimens should be in museums and studied. Best wishes, Joe Bauman, Salt Lake City.
