mediterranic Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 It seems to have some affinities with this one: More pictures, this time from a mass mortality assemblage. Hope it helps.

fifbrindacier Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Yep, i will go with a flexicalymene, but i'm not expert, so wait for more knowlageables' opinions.

JohnBrewer Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Hey Miguel I have no idea what coin you have there unless is a UK £2 (can't see properly as on iPhone). Coins are a bad thing to use as a scale as it's not easy for people from countries other than your own to judge size. Have you got a ruler? @piranha John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I think there are two valid taxa for the Moroccan Flexicalymene: F. ouzregui and F. tazarinensis (F. tazarensis). Maybe this link would help. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

piranha Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Here are the descriptions of Flexicalymene ouzregui & Flexicalymene tazarinensis from Destombes 1966: Destombes, Jacques (1966) Quelques Calymenina (Trilobitae) de l'Ordovicien moyen et supérieur de l'Anti-Atlas (Maroc).

mediterranic Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Thanks a lot to all, especially to @piranha and @abyssunder. They are F. tazarinensis. They are from near of Omjrane. The matrix is so weird for this genus that almost seems Devonian. Great help - once again -and great reading. I love these weird Phacopids.
