Etymology
Tanazios is a combination of the words "tanaos", meaning "long", "zoon", meaning "animal" and "pelagios", meaning "of the sea". The species name dokeron is a combination of "dodeka" ("twelve"), "kerouchos" ("horned") and "epikranon" ("helmet").
Distribution
Tanazios is known from two reconstructed specimens from the Coalbrookdale Formation (as the concretions fossils are found in cannot be studied easily, fossils have to be reconstructed digitally via grinding then scanning them).
Classification
Tanazios was originally considered as stem-group crustacean.[3] According to phylogenic analysis in Pulsipher et al. (2022), it is considered as stem-mandibulate instead.[4]
