Burgess Shale
Canadaspis perfecta
UF-IP 512
From Canada, British Columbia
Lived ~500 million years ago
This animal is a crustacean. Like it's living relatives (lobsters and shrimp), it lived in mud and fed just under the silt layer of the ocean floor. It used its front appendages like a rake to filter through the sediment for food, which collected on its spines and was then passed into its mouth.
