Exceptional, 4.75" Drotops Trilobite - Mrakib, Morocco
This is a very nice, 4.75" long Drotops trilobite quarried from Mrakib, Morocco. It's very 3D with outstanding eye facet preservation and a nearly flawless shell. One of the best specimens of this species that we've had to offer.

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..
