Maghriboselache mohamezanei is a newly described chondrichthyan from the Famennian (Late Devonian) of the eastern Anti-Atlas. In two specimens, the neurocrania are three-dimensionally preserved and revealed a lot of anatomical detail. This new taxon falls in a basal position of the stem of the total group Holocephali and thus is of great importance to understand the early evolution of the chondrichthyan crown group.
