Nevadella

Nevadella is an extinct genus of trilobites, fossil marine arthropods, with species of average size (about 5 centimetres or 2.0 inches long).

It lived during the late Atdabanian stage, which lasted from 530 to 524 million years ago during the early part of the Cambrian Period.

The glabella and the frontal margin almost or entirely touch (in jargon: the preglabellar field is short or absent).

[4] Fossils of Nevadella have been found in the late Atdabanian of the USA (California, Nevada) and Canada (Cordilleran region).

Contemporary taxa that also occur in the so-called "Nevadella" Zone include Esmeraldina, Holmiella, Palmettaspis, Bradyfallotaspis, Geraldinella, Paranevadella, Nevadia, Buenellus, and Cirquella.
