It lived during the late Atdabanian stage,[1] which lasted from 521 to 514 million years ago during the early part of the Cambrian Period.

[2] Similar to the closely-related Skioldia and Tegopelte, the head shield and trunk tergites were fused into a single plate.

a small anterior sclerite articulated to the front of its head.
