Potentional energy surface calculations for the doubly midshell nucleus 66 Dy104 support a variety of extreme properties. The ground-state deformation is among the largest in the region, consistent with it having the maximal value of valence particles for any nucleus below the Pb doubly closed shell. The energy minimum is found to be remarkably constant in the ( b2 ,g) plane as a function of angular momentum. The nucleus is predicted to undergo a dual alignment with midshell highj protons and neutrons aligning simultaneously at spin '14\. Configuration-constrained calculations for the two-quasiparticle configurations predict the presence of a low-lyingK56 state with a similar axially symmetric shape to the highly deformed ground state.
