Daguinaspis

Daguinaspis is an early Cambrian trilobite genus found in Morocco. Like the closely related Choubertella and Wolynaspis, but unlike any other Fallotaspidoidea, it lacks genal spines.

Species
  • D. ambroggii Hupé, 1953 (Type)
  • D. subabadiei Geyer, Landing & Heldmaier, 1995

Distribution

Cambrian of the Anti-Atlas, Morocco, 30.4° N, 8.8° W (Daguinaspis trilobite zone, Tazemmourt Section[2] and Tiout Section.[3] Amouslek Formation, Middle Atdabanian (520.0 - 516.0 Ma) )

Ecology

Daguinaspis occurs together with the trilobites Marsaisia robauxi and Resserops bourgini, and the brachiopod Brevipelta chouberti (Tazemmourt), and also with the problematic Microschedia amphitrite (Tiout).

gollark: Your article says that it's just someone petitioning to do that, and their website has this delightful content.

gollark: Because it became a political issue currently.
