World-class & huge Reedops deckeri trilobite

Reedops deckeri is one of the two least common phacopid trilobites (Order: Phacopida; Suborder: Phacopina; Superfamily: Phacopoidea; Family: Phacopidae) occuring in the Lower Devonian strata of Oklahoma. This specimen is not only very large for the species, but is the typical superb quality that comes from the prep lab of Bob Carroll. This example has been meticulously prepared with modern equipment. It is mounted in an interesting life-like manner. Also note the superb, compound eyes.
