4.35" Drotops Trilobite - Issoumour, Morocco
This is a 4.35" long specimen of the large phacopid trilobite Drotops megalomanicus. The eye facets on this large specimen are clear and there is only about 1-2% shell restoration along the repaired cracks.
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.
