A watercolour painting of an underwater scene depicting a bunch of Cambrian organisms. Central and by far the largest of them all is Anomalocaris, a strange brown arthropod with long, curved mouthparts and many wavy swimming limbs. It is lit from behind and casts a dark, ominous shadow over most of the scene, while a cloud of brown dust emanates around it. The other creatures are all far smaller and all arranged to look at Anomalocaris in a rocky undersea landscape with several sponges. They include Opabinia, a bizarre colourful creature with five eyes; Hallucigenia, a long purple wormy creature with yellow spikes on its back and five pairs of feet; Pikaia, a worm-like pale grey chordate with a thickened area on its back; Canadia, a spiny purple worm-like creature; Burgessia, a round green arthropod with a long tail and antennae on a higher rock than most others; Marella, an arthropod with many long curved bits arranged in vaguely T-like shapes; and Elrathia, a ruddy trilobite. Each of them has some sort of rock or small ridge between them and the much larger Anomalocaris. The foreground is largely brown where the light falls on it, and the background behind Anomalocaris is blue sea, brighter towards the upper left where the light is coming from. The shadows are dark and ominous, especially the ones cast by Anomalocaris.

Mighty Anomalocaris stirs, spreading dust and terror throughout the Cambrian sea. Opabinia, Hallucigenia, Pikaia, Canadia, Burgessia, Marella, and Elrathia can only hope the rocks and ridges they cover behind will hide them.
