This bizarre Cambrian arthropod (?) has been mentioned more than once on these pages during the last year or so (usually by myself). Although it is not a cephalopod, and strictly speaking is pushing the remit of these pages, I thought some readers might be interested to know there is an example of Anomalocaris saron currently on E-bay.
This is quite unbelievable; these things simply do not come up for sale. I am only aware of one other, from Utah, that is up for sale, the asking price on that example is about $8000. I only hope that a museum purchases it, or it is used for research. However, I fully expect it will not be and will be lost to science forever. A pity.
