5.3" Drotops Trilobite With White Patina - Mrakib, Morocco
This is a large, 5" long Drotops megalomanicus trilobite quarried from Mrakib, Morocco. The shell has a white patina to it. This is often seen on specimens from Mrakib where specimens from Issoumour tend to be jet black.
There is good preservation in both eyes and only about 5% shell restoration overall. The limestone surrounding it has been sculpted to create a natural display base that it stands up on a hard surface without the need for a display stand. A really cool piece.

About Trilobites
Trilobites are an extinct class of marine arthropods that thrived for nearly 270 million years, from the early Cambrian to the end of the Permian period (around 521 to 252 million years ago). They are one of the most successful and diverse groups in the history of life, with over 25,000 described species spanning a wide range of sizes, shapes, and ecological niches. Known for their distinctive, segmented exoskeletons, trilobites provide invaluable insights into the evolutionary history of arthropods and the dynamics of ancient marine ecosystems.
