The anomalocaridid fossil shows this ancient sea predator existed for much longer and grew to much larger sizes than previously thought. Credit: Peter Van Roy Anomalocaridids had long, spiny head limbs presumably used to snag prey, and a series of blade-like filaments in segments across the animal's back, which scientists think might have functioned as gills.

Does this story have anything to do with what was seen in Anthony Weiner’s underpants?

Guess not - this is about something big.

Saw one of those things break its way out of a guy’s chest once; not a pretty sight.
