4.35" Bumpy Drotops Trilobite - Issoumour, Morocco
This is 4.35" long specimen of the large phacopid trilobite Drotops megalomanicus. There is about 1-2% shell restoration in total, a small patch on the tail and a small patch on the edge of the right cheek. Nice eye facets in both eyes.
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.
