Large Enrolled Drotops Trilobite - 6" Around
This is a large, enrolled specimen of the trilobite Drotops megalomanicus. It's 2.75inches wide and over 6 inches around the curve. It has been prepared free of the surrounding matrix and is quite impressive. The preparation is very nice and eye facets are nicely preserved. There is only about 1% restoration.
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.
