A Football-Shaped Animal Species Is Discovered In A 500-Million-Year-Old Shale

A reconstruction of the Titanokorys gainesi, a new species of extinct sea animal discovered in Canada.

The Titanokorys gainesi, which is now extinct, was a 1 1/2-foot-long sea animal — gigantic for its time — with a large protective shell over its head, a toothed mouth and a pair of spiny claws.
