The great appendages are used in food manipulation; Anomalocaris used them to manipulate prey such as trilobites,[1] while Laggania used them to filter algae and similar small particles from the water in which it dwelt. They have been suggested to be homologous with the antennule of the euarthropods,[2] or the chelicerae of chelicerates,[3] although the latter possibility has been discounted.[4][5] Two types of great appendage are recognised; the first, the long great appendage such as that seen in the anomalocaridids, resembles a 15–unit leg; whereas the more ubiquitous short great appendage characteristic of the Megacheira is arm-like with a claw-like end. The latter form is a synapomorphy of the euarthopods and may be homologous with the large great appendage.[2] References1. ^{{cite journal |first=Christopher |last=Nedin |year=1999 |title=Anomalocaris predation on nonmineralized and mineralized trilobites |journal=Geology |volume=27 |issue=11 |pages=987–990 |url=http://geology.geoscienceworld.org/cgi/content/abstract/27/11/987 |doi=10.1130/0091-7613(1999)027<0987:APONAM>2.3.CO;2 |bibcode=1999Geo....27..987N}} {{paleo-arthropod-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite journal |first=Martin |last=Stein |year=2010 |title=A new arthropod from the Early Cambrian of North Greenland, with a ‘great appendage’-like antennula |journal=Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society |volume=158 |issue=3 |pages=477–500 |doi=10.1111/j.1096-3642.2009.00562.x}} 3. ^{{cite journal |first1=Stephen |last1=Dornbos |first2=David |last2=Bottjer |first3=Jun-Yuan |last3=Chen |year=2004 |title=Evidence for seafloor microbial mats and associated metazoan lifestyles in Lower Cambrian phosphorites of Southwest China |journal=Lethaia |volume=37 |issue=2 |pages=127–137 |doi=10.1080/00241160410004764 |url=https://pantherfile.uwm.edu/sdornbos/www/PDF%27s/Dornbos%20et%20al.%202004.pdf |format=PDF}} 4. ^{{cite journal |first1=Muriel |last1=Jager |first2=Jérôme |last2=Murienne |first3=Céline |last3=Clabaut |first4=Jean |last4=Deutsch |first5=Hervé |last5=Le Guyader |first6=Michaël |last6=Manuel |year=2006 |title=Homology of arthropod anterior appendages revealed by Hox gene expression in a sea spider |journal=Nature |volume=441 |pages=506–508 |doi=10.1038/nature04591 |pmid=16724066|bibcode=2006Natur.441..506J }} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2006/05/26/chelifores-chelicerae-and-inve/ |title=Chelifores, chelicerae, and invertebrate evolution | last=Myers | first=PZ |authorlink=PZ Myers |date=May 26, 2006 | work=Pharyngula }} 2 : Arthropod anatomy|Prehistoric arthropods |
