A nice Dictyonema flabelliforme dendroid graptolite from Oslo Fields in Norway. It's Tremadoc, Lower Ordovician in age and is thus maybe around 480 mya. Another angle :

Day Three ; Locality One (Or Eight if you include Days One and Two) Ait Benhaddou, Morocco. 21st February 2019 We spent the second night in Ouarzazate, where the biggest film studios in Africa can be found and many famous films have been shot. In the morning we went briefly to the Atlas Studios where Anouar took some photos of the exterior for his blog, but non of us actually wanted to go in, so we headed for the kasbah of Ait Benhaddou. The road going south from Ouarzazate, at Ait Saoun, just before one reaches Agdz is a fossilized and genuine stromatolite reef, but it was out of our way on this occasion, so that's one for another day, but here's a photo courtesy of the Universities Space Research Program who test out Moon Buggies, Mars Rovers and stuff there. Just before we reached Ait Benhaddou, we stopped off at a viewpoint, I wanted to look at the rocks and hillside as fossils can be found in this area. I can't remember what they were as i didn't find any, but one of the hills next to the kasbah is quite famous, so i'm told. You can see the kasbah in the distance here and i think the hill just to the right of it is the fossil location. Hunting around, I did find lots of pieces of what I think is a porphyritic gabbro. Nice phenocrysts!

A year or so ago a friend of mine was moving to a new job, and he decided to downsize his collection and concentrate on his real interest, elasmobranchs (sharks/rays) and fish. As a result I inherited a number of fossils, including a Moroccan trilobite. It had a few cracks that had been crudely "repaired" with clay. Recently I decided to "restore" it, which means I removed the clay (toothbrush prep) and returned it to it's unaltered state. I initially thought it was one of the common Flexicalymene ouzregui but as I cleaned it up it looked a little bit different from that species, and also a bit familiar. I pulled up a paper (Destombes 1966) that @piranha posted here last year, and discovered that I actually had a Colpocoryphe grandis (Snajdr), a species I did not previously have in my collection. It is a decent size, 81 mm long by 41 mm wide across the free cheeks. Overall this species is similar to Flexicalymene ouzregui. The easiest to see character is the lack of pleural segments on the pygidium. The cephalon is also subtly different. Here is the figure from Destombes (1966) of Colpocoryphe grandis for comparison to my specimen:

Quite a large specimen even for this quite big species. The length given is of the animal along the centre of its back, not the diameter.
