Tremataspis was about {{convert|10|cm|in}} in length, and had an armored shield covering its head. Compared with its relatives, the shield was unusually elongated, covering the whole front of the body, and was more rounded in shape. It is thought that Tremataspis used its rounder shield to burrow in the ocean floor, searching for food. Because the shield consisted of one solid piece, it probably did not grow during the animal's life; presumably, the larvae lacked the shield, which only appeared later in life.[1]References1. ^{{cite book |editor=Palmer, D.|year=1999 |title= The Marshall Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Animals|publisher= Marshall Editions|location=London|page= 25|isbn= 1-84028-152-9}} {{Portal|Paleontology}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q7236967}}{{Paleo-jawless-fish-stub}}{{silurian-animal-stub}} 3 : Osteostraci genera|Fauna of Estonia|Silurian fish of Europe |
