Thanks for posting. That's one seriously weird creature. I have trouble visualizing things from verbal descriptions. Live Science has an article and animation at Ancient 4-Eyed Predator Wielded Wicked Toothy Claws

Evolution must have decided that a few real big claws were better than a lot of tiny little ones along the legs. On the other hand, perhaps lots of little ones were good for grabbing tiny little food critters of the Cambrian and conveyor belting them up to the mouth. I think there was a major extinction event some millions of years later.
