Although Drotops armatus is one of the most sought-after trilobites from the Devonian of Morocco,  juvenile specimens are rarely seen on the open market. This genuine specimen was prepared by a professional preparator, to reveal delicate spines and beautiful eyes. The trilobite sits on limestone matrix in a dramatic way. An outstanding piece !
