It lived in coastal and fluvial waters, where it is thought to have fed on either very small prey, or detritus; the small dental plates in its mouth strongly suggest that it was incapable of tackling large prey. The possibility that the plates may have been used to, at times, feed on bivalves has also been muted.
This organism inhabited coastal and riverine waters, possibly feeding on small prey or detritus; the tiny dental plates indicate it could not handle large prey. The idea that the plates were sometimes used for eating bivalves is also considered less likely.
