Here are some fun facts about Arandaspis:
Arandaspis lived during the Ordovician Period approximately 480 million years ago.
It is one of the earliest known vertebrates, meaning it had a primitive backbone-like structure.
Unlike most modern fish, Arandaspis lacked jaws and fed by filtering food particles from the water.
Its head and front body were protected by armored bony plates.
Fossils of Arandaspis have been discovered in Australia and provide important clues about the evolution of vertebrate animals.
