Join Adele on a wild ride through the Cambrian (510-500 million years ago) as we discuss the ancient apex predator Anomalocaris (a weird shrimpy boy with face fangs).   We also touch on trilobite cannibalism, the advantages of compound eyes, building your own armour with biomineralisation and the first evolutionary arms race. Hold onto your butts!   Links: Random Fossil Fact Healed injuries in Early Cambrian trilobites from South Australia World's oldest known case of cannibalism revealed in trilobite fossils Trilobite Fossils Suggest Cannibalism Is More Ancient Than Once Thought Anomalocaris The sharp eyes of Anomalocaris, a top predator that lived half a billion years ago New anatomical information on Anomalocaris from the Cambrian Emu Bay Shale of South Australia and a reassessment of its inferred predatory habits Acute vision in the giant Cambrian predator Anomalocaris and the origin of compound eyes The oral cone of Anomalocaris is not a classic ‘‘peytoia’’ This show is brought to you by Dinosaur Trips!
