    Description

    This is a magnificent trilobite specimen of TWO
    Pedinopariops (Hypsipariops) vagabundus
    , from Morocco.
    Pedinopariops
    resembles a large
    Phacops
    or a small
    Drotops
    , and lived during the Middle Devonian. All of the eyes have extremely well-preserved schizochroal lenses and the tubercules on the cephalons are well-defined and pronounced.
    The matrix and trilobites measure 4.4inches long, 4.1 inches wide and 2.75 inches high.
    The  'taller' trilobite has a repair running across the thorax, the other has a repair running across the lower part of the pygidiumbeen repaired under the right eye and across the thorax. In the trilobite-collecting world this is not a detriment. Trilobites are found by smashing open rocks and the specimens often get broken as a result. It is rare to find an entire, unbroken trilobite. And if one is found, they usually are sold for a premium amount. Many sellers do not disclose that their fossils have been repaired as the repair is often very well done, and virtually undetectable. I believe in full disclosure.
    All of my fossils are guaranteed authentic and have been legally obtained.
