 Description:
A member of the Order Corynexochida, Family Styginidae from the Middle
Devonian deposits of Mrakib, Morocco, this is a member of the genus
Goldius. The pustulose nature distinguishes it from most other scutellids
with the exception of some in the genus Scutellum, and one in the
genus Metascutellum (see my other listings for an example). While
members of the genus have been known from Europe, none from Morocco
have as yet been described. Note the many good facets in each eye.
