Ainiktozoon is an enigmatic fossil genus from the Silurian of Scotland. Originally described as an early chordate recent studies suggest that it was in fact an arthropod more precisely a crustacean belonging to the little-known extinct class Thylacocephala.The only discovered species Ainiktozoon loganense is known from a number of specimens from Silurian rocks (Ludlow series) at Lesmahagow in Scotland.
