Tauricornicaris is a giant arthropod from the Maotianshan Shales previously interpreted as a hurdiid radiodont. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Zhenghecaris

In “ Morphology of diverse radiodontan head sclerites from the early Cambrian Chengjiang Lagerstätte, south-west China” Zhenghecaris shankouensis was reinterpreted as an hurdiid Radiodont , which is now questionable, since the interpretation was largely based on Tauricornicaris, which is now classified as Arthorpoda Incertae sedis . ^{[1] [2]}
