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.

Very good quality. Holds up very well, but it is recommended to replace the rubber holder with a metal pin holder for extra precaution.

Awesome. Sitting pretty along my museum pins on my jacket. A true tribute to Anomalocaris.

Great quality and unique design. Thank you.

Great pins and fast shipping

I now have three pins from this shop on my work lanyard. Couldn't recommend them more!

Got this as a gift for a friend of mine in the geology field- she loves it. It's so hard to find good geology/paleontology themed gifts and this one is great!

I got this for my boyfriend who is greatly fond of the anomalocaris :) It's really beautiful and amazing quality! I appreciate how the back shares facts and history about the creature. Really recommend! thank you so much :)

Anomalocaris Pin

This pin arrived earlier than expected, well packaged. It was exactly what my eighteen- year-old son hoped it would be like. The pin backing was sturdily constructed. He has been proudly wearing it since Christmas. Thank you for making a young college freshman's holiday!😉

A small, noble friend. I would die for this bb. Arrived on time.

My boyfriend loves the anomalocaris so this pin is the absolute perfect gift.

Just as pictured, about an inch-ish and glossy, vibrantly colored, super cute. Pin is on my backpack which gets thrown around a lot so it's pretty secure. I'd love it if they made more Ediacaran and Cambrian era pins, they're so nerdy and underrepresented!
