Liobole is an extinct genus of lower Carboniferous proetid trilobite.
Etymology
[edit]Liobole was described from material found in the Moravian Karst.[1] The species shown is from the lower carboniferous of SW England.[2]
Distribution
[edit]Liobole is found in the European Culm facies and has been collected from the lower Carboniferous across Europe for example from (Visian) deposits of SW England and (Tournaisian) of Poland and as far east as China.[3]
Taxonomy
[edit]Identified as proetid trilobite from the lower Visean Brezina formation by Chlupáč 1966.
