Caryosyntrips is an extinct genus of Radiodont which existed in Canada and the United States[1] during the middle Cambrian. Caryosyntrips is known only from a handful of 14-segmented frontal appendages[1], which resemble nut-crackers, recovered from the Burgess Shale Formation. It was first named by Allison C. Daley, Graham E. Budd in 2010 and the type species is Caryosyntrips serratus.[2]
