This is an excellent specimen of Drotops megalomanicus from the Devonian of Morocco. This Phacopid trilobite is not only big - it is extremely inflated. The wonderfully articulated bug is very slightly arched and exhibits nice detail. The large compound eyes display the individual lens pattern. The granulose texture of the thick exoskeleton is well defined. The black trilobite contrasts beautifully with the grey matrix. It is wonderfully showcased on the large block of limestone. Every trilobite collector should have a Drotops in their collection - unfortunately, there just aren't enough good ones to go around.
