Anomalocaris Enamel Pin (Anomalocaris canadensis) (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Long before dinosaurs, mammals, or even fish, Anomalocaris prowled the Cambrian seas like an alien vacuum cleaner with claws. At nearly a meter long, it was the apex predator of its day—an era when most animals were basically squishy bugs. With giant compound eyes, a circular mouth full of serrated plates, and two spiny appendages for snatching prey, Anomalocaris terrorized trilobites 500 million years ago. Its name means “abnormal shrimp,” which is accurate only if your idea of “normal shrimp” involves nightmare fuel. This hard enamel pin captures its segmented body and bizarre face in polished metal and enamel—no fossil bed or time machine to the Burgess Shale required.

Specs:

• Premium metal base with polished hard enamel fill
• Secure clasp so your Anomalocaris doesn’t “swim off”
• Size: 29 x 28mm
• Zero risk of snatching hors d’oeuvres off your plate

Perfect for paleo-nerds, fossil hunters, and anyone who enjoys the weirder side of evolutionary history.
