Hey! She was talking me!
Yes indeed, it is an anamalocarid, one of the very first cool predators on earth, up to 6 feet long and looks sort of like a cross between a manta ray and lobster, with a mouth that works like wood chipper.

It's very awesome looking. When I first saw it though, it looked like Dorian Cleavanger met HP Lovecraft. Speaking of which, you just reminded me of what to add to the animal thread. I love manta rays. Sting rays too, but more of the '69 coup kind.
Quick edit: 300th post!

Did fuckin' Noah have them on the Ark? And were they two or seven depending on which variant of the inerrant story you want to go by?

They look like they were of the unclean persuasion. How many was he supposed to bring of the unclean kind?
They also look like they'd suck Noah's head off, so I imagine since they're not around anymore Noah had a bit of bias that God didn't instruct him in. Although that doesn't explain the unicorns, which I thought were rather cute. Or penguins, which have a habit of stealing beer but are still alive today - an offense punishable by annihilation in my book.

Again...depends on which version of the inerrant story you want to go by.
Why would an omnipotent god even bother to make "unclean" animals? Seems like something that only a real putz would do.

I don't mean to be a downer or anything, but Noah didn't taken sea creatures onto the ark since well, you know, they lived in water.

So either all the salt-water fish died or all the fresh water fish died which explains why we don't have salt-water fish or fresh water fish anymore.
Oh, wait.
