Hollardops of Morocco

Order Phacopida
Family Acastidae
Genus Hollardops Morzadec, 1997

Hollardops is one of the most emblematic genera of trilobites from Morocco, being traded for decades. Yet from a taxonomical perspective, it is still remarkably poorly understood.

Name: Hollardops burtandmimiorum Lieberman & Kloc, 1997
Stratigraphy: El Otfal Formation, upper Emsian
Locality: Jebel Ou Driss

This trilobite was originally described by Liberman & Kloc (1997) as Philipsmithiana burtandmimiae, but has since been assigned to the genus Hollardops.
