Hundreds of specimens were found in the Burgess Shale.
It was a large animal (for its day): it was up to 30cm long.
It had a horseshoe-shaped carapace, and probably fed by sifting through the sediment with its round mouth lined with hooked spines.
This predator  lived more than 500 million years ago.
Its fossil has been discovered in Kootenay National Park  in the Canadian Rockies.
Cambroraster falcatus is perhaps ancestral to insects, crabs and spiders.
The fossils were discovered by palaeontologists from the Royal Ontario Museum and University of Toronto.

The Saiga-12 shotgun is a magazine-loaded, semi-automatic shotgun used by the Russian military.
Its design was largely based on the AK-47.
It can hold box magazines with up to 10 shells, and it can hold drum magazines with up to 30 shells.
It is based on the .30-06 Springfield catridge.
The bullet is the same size, but the case is slightly smaller so soldiers could carry more bullets.
It was the main bullet used by NATO until the 5.56 x 45mm NATO was invented.
Taxa by H.Hara
It was based on the 7.62 x 54mmR cartridge.
The bullet size is the same, but the case is much smaller so that soldiers could carry more bullets.
It was made because the Soviet Union learned that full-sized bullets were not needed in most firefights.
Most firefights happened in less than 300 meters, or medium- and short-range.
At this range, it is more important to have many smaller bullets than a few large bullets.
For guns, rifle bullets can usually penetrate, or shoot through, deeper than pistol bullets or shotgun shells because they are narrower and faster.
This is why most bullet-proof vests can stop pistol bullets and shotgun shells, but not rifle bullets.
An intermediate cartridge is a bullet used for assault rifles and some light machine guns.
They are not as large as full-sized rifle bullets, and they do not have as much stopping power, penetration power, or effective range.
However, more of them can be carried because they are smaller.
They still have more stopping power, penetration power, and effective range than most pistol bullets.
They are still powerful enough to shoot through most bullet-proof vests and they can kill a fully grown person if aimed well enough.
Intermediate cartridges include the Russian 7.62 x 39mm, the 7.62mm NATO, and the German 7.92 Kurz.
They are made to be just good enough for most firefights, so they are used for many short- and medium-range guns.
The idea for an intermediate cartridge came with the German military making the StG-44.
During World War II, the German miltary learned that most firefights happened in fewer than 300 meters.
The bolt-action rifles used by most German soldiers were not good enough for short-range because they were too slow to fire, the bullets used for them were too heavy, and the guns kicked back too hard, causing soldiers to lose their accuracy when shooting quickly.
Submachine guns were not good enough for medium range because they were less accurate and powerful at longer ranges.
At medium-range, German soldiers needed a different kind of gun altogether.
They needed a gun that could shoot accurately up to 300 meters, powerful enough to kill a person at that range, and could carry a bullet small enough that soldiers could carry a lot of them.
The gun they made to meet these needs was called the StG-44.
Rifles that fired these kinds of bullets are called assault rifles, and the StG-44 was the first of these.
The StG-44 fired the 7.92 x 33mm Kurz bullet.
The bullet was the same size as the 7.92 x 57mm Mauser, but the case was about half the size.
It was not as powerful or accurate at long range, but it was smaller and had less kickback.
This made it great at medium ranges.
It was used by German soldierd late in the war, mostly on the Eastern Front.
Unfortunately for the Germans, the StG-44 was used too late in the war to help them win.
When Soviet soldiers found StG-44's, they too got the idea to make rifles that fired intermediate cartridges.
They made the 7.62 x 39mm based the larger 7.62 x 54mmR. Guns the Soviets made that fired the 7.62 x 39mm include the AK-47, the SKS, and the RPK.
During the early part of the Vietnam War, American soldiers though that the 7.62mm NATO bullets were too heavy to carry.
To fix this problem, gun designers made a completely new bullet, the 5.56mm NATO.
It was a very small bullet, but it had a very high effective range because it had a very high muzzle velocity.
This is called a Small Caliber High Velocity (SCHV) bullet.
It was not as powerful as the 7.62mm NATO, but the designers believed that wounding soldiers rather than killing them would be more effective.
This was because fellow soldiers would have to risk their lives to rescue wounded soldiers.
Nonetheless, a well-aimed shot can still kill a person easily.
Also, soldiers could carry twice as many 5.56mm NATO bullets.
Most medium-range NATO guns today fire the 5.56mm NATO, including the M16, the M4, the SAW M249, the FAMAS, the Steyr AUG, and the G36.
The Soviet Union saw the effectiveness of the 5.56mm NATO, so they hired Mikhail Kalshnikov, the creator of the AK-47, to make a SCHV assault rifle for the Soviets.
He made the AK-74, which was based of the AK-47, but it fired a smaller bullet, the 5.45 x 39mm bullet.
The 5.45 x 39mm cartridge is the main bullet made for short- and medium-range guns for the later Soviet and Russian militaries.
It is used for guns like the AK-74, the RPK-74, the AN-94, the AK-100 series of rifles, and the AK-12.
It is a Small Caliber High Velocity (SCHV) bullet, which means it is very small, but it has a high muzzle velocity and effective range.
After hearing about the success of NATO's new SCHV bullet, the 5.56mm NATO, in the Vietnam War, the Soviet Union believed they needed to make their own to be able to fight off NATO.
They hired Mikhail Kalashnikov, the creator of the AK-47, to make an SCHV assault rifle.
Kalashnikov disliked the idea because he felt the Soviet Union needed to outdo NATO weapons, not copy their ideas.
Nonetheless, he made the AK-74, the first gun to fire the 5.45 x 39mm.
The Type-99 light machine gun was a squad automatic weapon used by the Japanese during World War II.
It was based on the British Bren LMG, but it had some unusual features.
First, it had a bayonet attachment, which is not usually made for LMGs.
Second, its magazines had a counter that tells the shooter how many bullets are left.
It was one of the earliest air-cooled machine guns.
It overheated more quickly than the M1917, which was water-cooled, but it was much lighter.
It fired slowly enough so that a soldier who was well-trained in shooting in bursts would not overheat the gun.
The Arisaka rifles were the main rifles used by the Japanese military from 1897 to 1945.
The most famous models were the Type 38 and Type 99 rifles.
The Type 92 heavy machine gun was the main machine gun used by the Japanese military during World War II.
Its heavy weight and slow rate of fire made it a very accurate machine gun.
However, its heavy weight also made it impossible to use on the offensive, since it needed to be carried by several soldiers.
Also, the bullets needed to be oiled before loading the gun, and not doing so could cause the gun to jam.
It fired 30 round belt clips loaded on the side.
US soldiers called it the "woodpecker" because it sounded like one from far away.

A rivet is a type of bolt which fastens plates of metal together.
Riveting was a main method of building metal ships, bridges and many other complex metal objects.
It was developed in the early industrial revolution from earlier ideas.
It is no longer the main method of metal fastening, but examples can be seen all over the world.
The key idea is that the slug of metal is red-hot when hammered into place.
This results in the slug of metal having a dumbell shape which holds the two metal sheets together.
An automatic jackhammer is used to force the metal into position, so giving a bulb on the inside face away from the pounding.
The process (for example, of ship building) was very noisy.
As the metal cooled, the two end of the rivet were pulled together, making a tight joint.
To be a riveter was skilled work.
The men worked in teams of four: two to heat the rivet and pass it to the two fasteners.
It was therefore an expensive process even when it was shortened by mechanising the heating process as in the example shown.
Rivets could be tested simply by tapping.
A rivet tightly set in its hole gives a clear ring, while a loose rivet produces a different sound.
Riveting developed in many ways, and there are many different kinds of rivets.
Today riveting has been largely replaced by welding, or by high-strength bolts.
However, riveting is still used where light weight and high strength are critical, such as in aircraft.

The Kar98 is a German bolt-action rifle and it was the German military's main gun during World War II.
It is a carbine version of the G98.
The Kar98 was made because the G98 was too long to be used well in small spaces.
At the end of World War II, many German soldiers had to give up their weapons, including the Kar98.
Despite it being the main gun used by Nazi Germany, it was often used by Israeli soldiers in the 1947-1949 Palestine War.
The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, or the 1947 UN Partition Plan, was a plan to split the former British colony of Mandatory Palestine into two different countries adopted on 29 November 1947.

The Israelis accepted the plan, but the Palestinians rejected it.
The plan was never put into place and this led to the 1947-1949 Palestine War.
