Titanichthys is an extinct genus of giant, aberrant marine placoderm from shallow seas of 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. A study has since confirmed this assumption as its jaws are functionally closer to that of filter feeders like baleen whales and basking sharks, and it

  • Titanichthys es un género extinto de un gran placodermo que vivió en los mares poco profundos del Devónico Superior en lo que hoy en día es Marruecos y el este de América del Norte. En cuanto a tamaño y constitución, era similar al Dunkleosteus.​ (es)
  • Titanichthys — рід плакодерм ряду артродір (Arthrodira). Існував у пізньому девоні (фаменський ярус, 360 млн років тому). Викопні рештки знайдені в США, Марокко та Польщі). За розмірами та формою схожий на Dunkleosteus. Однак, на відміну від останнього, у Titanichthys ротові пластини, що виконували функції зубів, були невеликими і не мали гострого різального краю. Ймовірно, що Titanichthys був фільтратором, який заковтував велику кількість води, проціджував її через зуби, залишаючи в ротовій порожнині дрібних рибок та ракоподібних. (uk)

Famille † Titanichthyidae Newberry, 1885 Genre † Titanichthys Newberry, 1885 Espèce † Titanichthys agassizi Newberry,1885 Synonymes * † Brontichthys Titanichthys est un genre éteint de grands placodermes de l'ordre des arthrodires. Il est connu dans les sédiments du Dévonien supérieur (il y a environ entre 372,2 et 358,9 millions d'années), où il a été découvert en différents points du globe, dans les schistes de Cleveland dans l'Ohio (États-Unis), dans le sud du Maroc et probablement en Pologne.

  • Titanichthys (junior synoniem: Brontichthys) is een geslacht van uitgestorven vissen uit het Devoon, dat behoorde tot de placodermen. Ze konden tot 7 meter lang worden en waren daarmee bijna even groot als Dunkleosteus, maar in tegenstelling tot dit geslacht waren het waarschijnlijk geen predators. Titanichthys had geen scherpe snijvlakken op de rand van het koppantser, maar kleine afsluitbare plaatjes in de bek. Waarschijnlijk gebruikte Titanichthys zijn bek om kleine visjes of zoöplankton te vangen, waarbij de plaatjes dienden om de prooi binnen te houden maar het water door te laten als de bek gesloten werd.
