This is a stunning trilobite collection of FOUR Pedinopariops (Hypsipariops) vagabundus, from Morocco. Pedinopariops resembles a large Phacops or a small Drotops, and lived during the Middle Devonian. All of the EIGHT  eyes have extremely well-preserved schizochroal lenses and the tubercules on the cephalons are well-defined and pronounced.

The matrix and trilobites measure 5.88 inches long, 1.77 inches wide and 3.2inches high. 

There is a repair running into the thorax of the highest trilobite, another going though a small piece of the pygidium of the one next to it., and the completely rolled up one has a repair running across the pygidium.  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.
