4.75" Multi-Toned Drotops Trilobite - Mrakib, Morocco
This is a naturally multi-toned, 4.75" long Drotops megalomanicus trilobite quarried from Mrakib, Morocco. It's very 3D with excellent eye facet preservation and preparation. Total restoration is about 3% along a repaired crack through it's body and head. A really nice looking specimen due to the coloration.

How a Drotops might be found in the field, with part of the tail exposed in the broken rock. It would then be prepared using airscribes and air abrasives a process that would likely take 20+ hours for a good specimen..
