Check it out! This is Innovatiocaris, a newly described genus of a radiodont from the Cambrian Chengjiang Lagerstätte in China. Radiodonts, like Anomalocaris, are incredibly rare making this fossil incredible.

I study animals from the Cambrian, so they’re my go-to subjects. Particularly animals known as Radiodonts and Lobopods (Hallucigenia, Opabinia, Anomalocaris, the whole gang)

and almost Cambrian dead wet bugs (megacheirans, radiodonts, gilled lobopodians and lobopodians)

ラディオドンタ類と変わった鋏角類が好きな節足動物厨。復元図と図表から擬人化まで描いています。
An arthropod nerd fond of radiodonts and weird chelicerates. Works on both reconstructions, diagrams and gijinkas.

As a result, the existing "full reconstruction of saron" until recently is a chimera of two different radiodonts.
(Previous "chimeric saron" done in late 2019, with update on the number of tail fins from ELRC 20001)

I'm Jun from Malaysia, an arthropod nerd mainly interested on weird chelicerates and basal extinct taxa like radiodonts. I enjoyed making arthropod-related works through gijinkas, diagrams and reconstructions of some fossil counterparts.

The model is based on pretty much no fossil evidence, but because it does look pretty good/cool/pleasing, so those less familiar with radiodonts would naturally assume it to be accurate, and thus it replicates itself.

To start off, the main body would be mostly smooth and soft.

Anomolacarids are now called radiodonts, but Anomolacaris is still among the largest ones we know. The Apex predator of his day would be little more than a kitten in the oceans of today ... little more than a snack.

I do paleoart, mostly cambrian stuff like lobopods and radiodonts, but I also do a bit of horror art on the side. You can see a bit of that influence sleep through into the black/white/red Omnidens.

Happy We still don’t know how Radiodonts reproduced, but it probably started (at least in some species) during mass-moulting events, when large numbers of them got together to moult. See fossils of for example. (1/2)
