Dactylocephalus sp. is a rare trilobite from the Fezouata Formation. This specimen is excellent and is one of the best we have seen. The trilobite has been prepared so that it appears raised against the matrix. A fantastic trilobite for demanding collectors, one in a series of six we were able to get from this already gone locality.
