Aegirocassis benmoulai is a species of giant, 2.3-meter-long filter-feeding arthropod that lived about 480-472 million years ago in the depths of the early Ordovician seas of what is now the Fezouata Formation of Morocco. Ever since its discovery in 2015, Aegirocassis is considered to be the first giant, aquatic, filter-feeding animal that evolved in Earth’s history, preceding the evolution millions upon millions of years later of future large, marine filter-feeders such as the Jurassic ray-finned fish Leedsicthys, the Cretaceous plesiosaur Aristonectes and the baleen whales and whale sharks of the Cenozoic. It was also the largest member of the Hurdiidae, a diverse family of marine radiodont arthropods of the Cambrian and Ordovician periods that includes the famous carnivorous Anomalocaris, and it might have evolved its filter-feeding traits, such as endites or inner structures of its frontal appendages that bore large amounts of baleen-like auxiliary spines that could have been used as a sort of mesh, from smaller, carnivorous ancestors as a result of the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event, in which certain environmental changes at the time witnessed the diversification of plankton, and in turn the flourishing of new suspension-feeding organisms. The spines of this strange arthropod’s frontal appendages were inward-angled, which allowed them to overlap to a certain degree and thus allow for more control over the size of the filtering mesh, and this unique feature may halve allowed Aegirocassis to feed on bigger-sized zooplankton than other filter-feeding radiodonts, along with large carapace that could have also helped to guide the feeding current to the frontal appendages. Aegirocassis shared its deep-sea habitat with the closely-related radiodont Pseudoangustidontus and several other, smaller arthropods, microorganisms and trilobites, and was also the single largest member of the highly-diverse Fezouata biota.

me when i have to put proper citations: ugh this is so annoying who even cares what i do in the footnotes
