The dimensions given are for the largest specimen. The block is 11.5 com at it's widest point by 10 cm and 2 cm deep. Most of the of the other species ascribed to this genus in Morocco are now considered junior synonyms. See https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-319-04364-7_199 Notice that they are all aligned in one direction as they were buried by a mudflow sweeping in from the continent. The arms, bodies and stems are all pretty much aligned. This seems to have occurred fairly regularly in this area at this time. Also notice younger, smaller specimens have fewer plates and arms.

I would very much like to learn of the collecting experiences and about the fossils that other collectors may have obtained from the Lower and Upper Ordovician sites in southeast Morocco.
