[@BrucesPhonograph]

Could it be that the occipital spines found so frequently on Cambrian trilobites were a defense mechanism against some sort of anomalocarid. Cambrian stromatolite dominated ecosystems (and the strata represented by them) commonly contain trilobites with these spines. Was some sort of anomalocarid, otherwise not directly recorded in this strata, part of the fauna?
