  1. I made a thing. My wife is a paleo-nerd, and this is getting some laughs in the group chat. That it rhymes with Kamala Harris is just icing on the cake... #anomalocaris #paleoart #DNC #oprah #memes

  2. My art in 2023 (6/12)

    June: Anomalocaris, Dragon of the Cambrian. The realisation that most Cambrian creatures were tiny gave me the idea of a whole bunch of them hiding from a 40 cm long Anomalocaris while in positions reminiscent of a D&D party facing off against a dragon.

  3. Mighty #Anomalocaris stirs, spreading dust and terror throughout the #Cambrian sea. #Opabinia, #Hallucigenia, #Pikaia, #Canadia, #Burgessia, #Marella, and #Elrathia can only hope the rocks and ridges they cover behind will hide them.

    Inspired by a display at the Naturkunde Museum Stuttgart that perfectly showed off the difference in size between Cambrian critters. At 40 cm, Anomalocaris was a leviathan.

  8. @shelldozer @lproven @anomalocaris

    It is probably easier to setup #TransparentTor first and then DigitalFeudalismCounterAction (DFCA) after that.

    DFCA needs to be first in the firewall and it works really well. One can run 'wget' in the command line and the DNS will go through Tor and *after* that the IP address will be blocked (not go through #Tor) if the #IPAddress is CAGeMAFIA.

    It's a nice one-two punch, because DFCA actually tells when it blocks #CAGEMAFIA, it doesn't just block.

  9. This will be a challenge to the fediverse connecting abilities: I need to make a costume of a #trilobite and of #Anomalocaris. I am looking for any help: someone has made one already and is happy to share the details, a costume designed willing to take up the challenge, a handwork hobbyist with a knack for sewing/cardboard magic who always want to launch their skills onto a bigger stage. We are making a #science show for kids as part of my #ERC project MindTheGap and we will be explaining #evolution using #fossils. #Cambrian fossils 😄 If you have any hints, contacts, old costumes, please get in touch. We are located in NL so we probably cannot commission costumes from overseas (too much risk of delay due to customs). #Outreach #ScienceCommunication #paleontology

  10. Presenting: THE #CAMBRIANSMACKDOWN! A silly Tumblr style bracket. I will create a series of polls to determine which screwy looking Cambrian era critter is perceived as the coolest on Mastodon!
    Polls will start at 7 days long.
    Depending on how well-received this is, the polls may shorten in length.
    Polls coming soon. Enjoy. This thread will be for bracket updates rather than the polls.

  11. Apex #predator of the #Cambrian likely sought soft over crunchy prey phys.org/news/2023-07-apex-pre

    Raptorial appendages of the Cambrian apex predator #Anomalocaris canadensis are built for soft prey and speed royalsocietypublishing.org/doi

    "One of the largest #animals to live during the Cambrian, it was probably agile and fast, darting after soft prey in the open water rather than pursuing hard-shelled creatures on the ocean floor."

  12. A line-up of #Cambrian critters at the Naturkunde Museum in Stuttgart. Most of them are in the little glass display at the bottom, with a magnifying glass provided. And then there’s #Anomalocaris, which would’ve been a giant monster to the rest of them.

  13. New on the Dinosaur Toy Blog, a bit of a mixed review of the 2023 CollectA Anomalocaris: dinotoyblog.com/anomalocaris-c

    "...this 2023 model is essentially a decade old in its depiction. Before we look at what it got wrong, let’s look at what it got right."

  14. El Kerygmachela kierkegaardi es un lobopodio (como el "gusano" de Shingeki no kyojin) branquiado del Cámbrico (521-514 MdA) similar al radiodonto Anomalocaris. Aunque se cree que fue un depredador, su boca pequeña habría restringido el tamaño de sus presas. 📷Junnn11 #cambrico #cambrian

  15. So, it appears my wife got our cat an oversized, plush model of Radiodont teeth.

  16. Paleontologists discover 506-million-year-old predator phys.org/news/2025-05-paleonto

    Early evolvability in arthropod tagmosis exemplified by a new radiodont from the #BurgessShale royalsocietypublishing.org/doi

    "Mosura fentoni was about the size of an index finger and had 3 eyes, spiny jointed claws, a circular mouth lined with teeth and a body with swimming flaps along its sides. These traits show it to be part of an #extinct group known as the #radiodonts, which also included the famous #Anomalocaris"

  17. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    In 2013 I built 23 scale and life-size models for MUSE Science Museum, in Trento, Italy. Here's Anomalocaris, which you might have seen in books and online credited to someone else – but it's one of mine!

    The few Telegram sticker comms I've done! They're always fun since you can get more detailed with them than Discord ones :)

    For Rallie, Steelballpython, Vauruk and Camellio!
