        Hi,
           after reading your message, I looked in my books and there is one
that gives nices drawings and details about the Burgess Shale fossils from
British Columbia, Canada. There is information on some trilobites. The book
title is: The wonderful life, from Stephen J. Gould. (U.S.)

        Wish it can help you.
