Lepidocoleus is a genus of extinct armored annelid worm in the class Machaeridia.
[1] The creature had a "suit" of armor running down its body in the form of overlapping calcite crystals.
[1] This worm probably lived in shallow water reefs feeding on organic waste.
[2] It lived from the Hirnantian of the upper Ordovician to the Famennian of the Devonian.
[3] The worm is tiny, only about a fraction of an inch long.
