The CollectA Anomalocaris is brightly colored with strange mouth parts looking like an alien from another world, this Anomalocaris is a unique addition to any prehistoric model collection!
The CollectA Anomalocaris #88977 measures: 5" L x 1.5" H.
This is one of my favorite prehistoric models by CollectA. The colors are attention-grabbing, especially the Tiffany blue eyes! Beautifully painted and sculpted, bringing this Cambrian creature back to life. This model has almost an armored appearance achieved with fine details on the body segments.
The compound eyes have a good texture to illustrate the independent ommatidia(photoreceptors). Such a great model by CollectA, nothing else like it on our website!
Anomalocaris is a prehistoric creature that lived during the Cambrian period, approximately 535 to 520 million years ago. It is considered one of the earliest known large predators in the fossil record. Anomalocaris was a marine animal that belonged to a group called the anomalocaridids, which were arthropods.
It had a unique body structure, with a long segmented body and a pair of large, grasping appendages at the front of its head. It also had a circular mouth lined with sharp teeth-like structures, which it likely used to capture and eat smaller marine organisms. Anomalocaris is an important fossil because it played a significant role in the ecosystem of the Cambrian seas and provides valuable insights into the early evolution of arthropods.
