Description
This grasping appendage belongs to an undetermined Anomalocaris or other member of the Anomalocarididae family. These enigmatic grasping appendages are often difficult to identify to species or genus. The low preservation potential for the radiodont group in general means fossilization of any of these creatures or their pieces and parts are exceptionally rare. This appendage appears closest to a classic Anomalocaris grasping appendage. Radiodonts are found throughout the suite of Middle Cambrian Utah rocks, with an ever expanding list of newly identified genera. This is a highly desirable specimen, preserved in red, alongside an Asaphiscus trilobite cranidia and other trilobite parts.
