The real Titanokorys

Titanokorys was a radiodont with a very large head carapace relative to its body. The broad armored outline makes it visually distinct from a simple shrimp-shaped Cambrian animal.

Specific carapace and appendage material documents its unusual head construction. Those structures give it a different silhouette from the narrower-bodied image often associated with radiodonts.
