This is an extremely spiny trilobite. It is a complete Drotops armatus from Morocco. This fabulous specimen was prepared under a microscope in the EXTINCTIONS Prep Lab here in Colorado, as are all of our Moroccan trilobites. This large, enrolled trilobite (almost three inches wide!) has many, many free-standing spines protruding from the head, body, and tail. The bug is tightly enrolled and extremely inflated, which is quite unusual - usually they are not fully enrolled and/or somewhat flattened. The large, compound faceted eyes are wonderfully preserved and practically flawless. And the natural color and extreme detail of this beauty is simply amazing. This is a very impressive example of an enrolled ''Spiny Phacops'' - one of the cleanest and most detailed ones we have ever seen.
A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS is included with this specimen.
