This is a killer spiny trilobite. It is a beautiful, prone Drotops armatus from the Devonian of Morocco. This ''Spiny Phacops'' was microscopically prepared in the EXTINCTIONS Prep Lab, as are all of our Moroccan trilobites. This specimen has many rows of free-standing spines emanating from the head, body, and tail. The compound faceted eyes are excellent - the individual lenses are wonderfully showcased. The trilobite is extremely inflated and 3-D and displays beautifully sitting up on the sculpted matrix plate. This is a museum quality example of this collectible Moroccan ''Spiny Phacops''.
