Description from the seller

Drotops is larger than most other genera of trilobites and can reach a length of 20 centimeters (~10 inches). Drotops stands out from other genera in this family due to its size. It generally resembles a very large Phacops with large pustules covering its surface, with a high density on the glabella.
The shell shows finely preserved details, such as veins and reliefs that highlight its structure. A fossil that offers an interesting snapshot of prehistoric life.
