Kane Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Looks like either a Pseuomegalaspis or a Lannacus from the Fezouata schist. 2 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Pseudomegalaspis is not recorded from Morocco, however, Fortey & Owens 1987 reclassified Plesiomegalaspis as a junior subjective synonym of Asaphellus Callaway 1877. Fortey 1975 reclassified Lannacus as a j.s.s. of Megalaspides, stating that the slight differences are within the range of variation and did not warrant a subgeneric rank for Lannacus.
