Top Quality Drotops Megalomanicus - 5.6"
This is a TOP QUALITY specimen of the giant phacopid trilobite Drotops megalomanicus. Both the preservation and the preparation on this specimen is exceptional. Just check out how nice the eye facets are in this example. The specimen is 5.6" long, laid out perfectly prone and has no restoration. It's very hard to find an example of Drotops this nice.
One of the most striking features of this trilobites is the large schizochroal (multi-faceted) eyes which would have given it a nearly 360 degree field of vision. It also has a very bumpy exoskeleton, in particularly on it's head.
