Ole,

    Although I'm not that familiar with the Niobe, Niobella group, I, or
one of the trilobite workers here may be of some assistance. If not I may
be able to put you in contact with someone who can help you. I did my
undergrad thesis on trilobites of the Fort Cassin Formation. This fm. was
dominated with Isoteloides as well as rare representatives from
Remopleurididae, Harpitidae, Bathyuridae, and Dimeropygidae. Brian
Chatterton is here at U. of Alberta, as well as another student working
on L. Ord. trilos. from Nevada. My name is Kevin Brett, and my fellow
office mate who works on the Nevada material is Dong-Chan Lee.
