In the beginning, it used to be believed that Typhloesus were conodont animals, a group of extinct agnathan vertebrates. The conodont teeth however were actually located in the gut contents of the Typhloesus, meaning that while it wasn't a conodont, they were a part of its diet.

A new paper published revealed several potential mollusk-like features of the animal.
