We present an extraordinary specimen of Dalmanites trilobite from the legendary Fzouata mountains in Morocco. This fossil stands out for its excellent preservation, with finely detailed anatomical features revealing the complex morphology of this marine arthropod. The piece, completely natural and unrestored, retains the relief of the cephalon, thorax, and pygidium with great clarity, making it a museum-quality specimen. Originating from one of the richest Ordovician sites, it is especially valuable for demanding collectors, researchers, or scientific institutions. A direct window into the marine ecosystem from nearly half a billion years ago.
