We want to thank everyone that helped with the development of this web site. This was a major undertaking, that could not have been accomplished with out the help of all of the contributors listed on this page. Special mention has to be offered here regarding Robert "Bob" Carroll, the dedicated "shooter", that spent countless hours in the quarry and lab, preparing nearly all of the specimens pictured here on the web site. |

Dr. Sam Gon III A conservationist by trade, and a self proclaimed "Trilobitophile", Dr Gon has created and supplied the exquisite line drawings pictured throughout our web site. Dr. Gon's own web site is a tribute to his passion for these extinct bugs, and his dedication to detail. To many, his web site is the definitive trilobite presence available on the internet.

Fred Wessman (1930 - 2000) A long time resident of Spring Texas, and avid trilobite collector. Fred collected trilobites on five continents and over 50 years accumulated over 1,000 different species of trilobites. In 1999, just a year before his death, he donated 52 of his best specimens to the Houston Museum of Natural Science, which published a catalog for the special exhibit. Fred was instrumental in Bob Carroll obtaining the lease for Black Cat Mountain. A number of trilobite species have been named in his honor, including Cordania wessmani and Cyphaspis wessmani both spectacular Oklahoma trilobites. |
