Description Rare Fallotaspis tazemmourtensis mortality slab from the Lower Cambrian Souss Lagerstätte, Morocco – 520–515 million years old, featuring internal and external moulds, occular lobes, cephalic spines and hypostome. Museum-grade, no restoration. OUR GRADING FOR THIS SPECIMEN: 5/5 ***** – A pristine, top-rare specimen! Specimen ID: PAIS9615
Trilobite Size: 2.3 × 1.8 cm
Matrix Size: 13 × 10,5 cm
Weight (slab with part and counterpart): 260 g Locality: Tazemmourt Section, Upper Amouslek Formation, Souss Lagerstätte, Anti-Atlas Mountains, Morocco
Collected: January 2026
Geological Period: Lower Cambrian (Series 2), Daguinaspis Zone
Age: ~520–515 million years This scientifically significant slab presents a rare assemblage from Africa’s first and oldest Cambrian Lagerstätte.
 Note:• A rarely seen, huge, complete adult Fallotaspis tazemmourtensis (Hupé, 1953), preserved as both internal and external moulds
• Colorful partial calcite coat, noticeable on both moulds
• Conspicuous terrace lines at the anterior border and genal spines, visible on both internal and external moulds (rare!)
• Complete cranidium – with clearly visible cephalic spines "closed" and attached to the body and conspicuous occipital ring; genal spine angle opposite to L1; glabella strongly tapering forward (very visible) with almost subparallel borders, exceeding the anterior tip of the ocular lobes
• Very conspicuous, moderately long ocular lobes, especially visible on the right one, with a slight sigmoidal shape (poorly documented characteristic ! ) and posterior tips opposite the anterior margin of the occipital ring – typical of an adult specimen
• Conspicuous hypostome (visible on the external mould and through the eroded glabella on the internal mould) - rare !
• Overall exoskeleton with an evident inflated axial lobe and thoracic spines, a hallmark of the special preservation in this area
• Lacks pygidium or it is embedded in the matrix – this is very common in members of the Fallotaspididae family.
