Innovatiocaris (meaning "innovation crab") is a genus of radiodont of uncertain family from the early Cambrian Chengjiang Lagerstätte of Yunnan Province, China. The genus contains two named species, I. maotianshanensis, known from a nearly complete individual measuring over 14.6 cm (5.7 in) and isolated frontal appendages, and I.? multispiniformis, known from a complete frontal appendage.[1][2]
