Titanichthys
''Titanichthys'' is a genus of giant, aberrant marine placoderm from shallow seas the Late Devonian of Morocco, Eastern North America, and possibly Europe. Many of the species approached ''Dunkleosteus'' in size and build. Unlike its relative, however, the various species of ''Titanichys'' had small, ineffective-looking mouth-plates that lacked a sharp cutting edge. It is assumed that ''Titanichthys'' was a filter feeder that used its capacious mouth to swallow or inhale schools of small, anchovy-like fish, or possibly krill-like zooplankton, and that the mouth-plates retained the prey while allowing the water to escape as it closed its mouth.
==Species==
The genus shows a great diversity in the Famennian-aged Cleveland Shales, though species are also found in similarly aged strata in Morocco and possibly the Holy Cross Mountains in Poland.〔
