Skeemella and Acinocricus

Description

Skeemella clavula is an "enigmatic" animal from the Wheeler Shales lagerstatten of Utah, which lived during the Middle Cambrian. Some people feel that it is an unusually long-tailed vetulicolian, while others reject this, alleging that its tail is far too long for a vetulicolian, and instead, is some sort of primitive "bivalved" arthropod.

Belong S. clavula is the lobopod Acinocricus stichus, which was originally identified as a seaweed.

Hello it's me again. I would like to show this art in my prehistoric pet project just like the previous ones. Also i would like to know what did both of these animals eat?
