Fossil Site: Djebel Issoumour, Morocco

 Description:A
elegant example of a member of the Order Phacopida, Family Dalmanitidae
with many fine details present. While most frequently known in the
trade as “Odontochile”, this one is actually Zilchovaspis.
The  most
diagnostic features of this taxon are the parabolic cephalon and pygidial
spine. Odontochile has a more circular
cephalic outline, and a shorter, broadly-based pygidial spine. Both
genera bear a strong resemblance to the contemporary
genus Huntonia from the Devonian of Oklahoma. |
