This is a very collectible trilobite. It is an excellent Drotops megalomanicus from the Devonian of Morocco. This trilobite was meticulously prepared in the EXTINCTIONS prep lab here in Colorado, and was in a major fossil collection for the last six years. This outstretched trilobite is extremely 3-dimensional and exhibits extraordinary detail. The thick-shelled exoskeleton is covered with hundreds of coarse pustules, and the individual lenses of the large compound eyes are almost fully intact. The well articulated bug has gorgeous color and contrast and is beautifully displayed on the large, sculpted plate of dense limestone. Every trilobite collector should have one of these Drotops in their collection that is this nice. Unfortunately, there just aren't enough good ones to go around.

This fossil was collected legally, and is also being sold legally.
