Tamisiocaris (from Latin tamisium, sieve, and Greek karis, crab, shrimp)[1] is a radiodont genus initially only known from frontal appendages from the Buen Formation in Sirius Passet. Further specimens revealed that the frontal appendages were segmented and bore densely-packed auxiliary spines, which were adapted to suspension feeding in a manner analogous to modern baleen whales.[2]
