Not saying that it is one,but simply illustrating a possible ostracod shape(Cytheropteron anisovalve,particularly figs 9 and 10 show the dorsal expansion well)

Interesting. I've never seen one like that. So is the dorsal expansion typical to that species or is this something that can occur in others?

Spinosity/hispidity  has occurred several times in the evolution of ostracods.Bythocytherids tend to be more ornamented than other kinds of ostracods

A Paleozoic ostracod that might be familiar to some members here:
