Daguinaspis is an early Cambrian trilobite genus found in Morocco. Like the closely related Choubertella and Wolynaspis , but unlike any other Fallotaspidoidea, it lacks genal spines.

Distribution

Cambrian of the Anti-Atlas, Morocco, 30.4° N, 8.8° W (Daguinaspis trilobite zone, Tazemmourt Section [2] and Tiout Section. [3] Amouslek Formation, Middle Atdabanian (520.0 - 516.0 Ma) )

Ecology

Daguinaspis occurs together with the trilobites Marsaisia robauxi and Resserops bourgini , and the brachiopod Brevipelta chouberti (Tazemmourt), and also with the problematic Microschedia amphitrite (Tiout).
