Steps to reproduce
The Specimen was studied in a local fossil collector's storeroom in the village of Asfla, Morocco. The specimen was shown to the author by the owner with permission given to photograph and report on the material. The discovery of this specimen was purely opportunistic and is documented here due to its rarity and significant impact it has to the study of the Asfla Member ichthyological assemblage. This data would be reproducible if a similar specimen was to be discovered from the same horizon (Asfla Member).
