Bargain, 4.5" Drotops Trilobite On Pedestal of Limestone
This is a 4.5" long specimen of the large phacopid trilobite Drotops megalomanicus. Much of the hard limestone has surrounding it has been removed, leaving it very displayably presented on a pedastal of rock. There is some weathering on the left hand side of the trilobite, particularly the left hand side of the tail.
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.
