A genus name or descriptive term for an organism having an unusually shaped or irregularly formed head.
From Greek anomalos 'uneven' combined with kephalē 'head.' This scientific nomenclature follows the binomial tradition of Latin-Greek names used in taxonomy to describe physical characteristics of organisms.
Scientists love using Greek and Latin to name things because it lets them pack information into one word—'anomalocephalus' literally tells you the creature has a weird head!
