Abundant trilobite specimens were obtained from an outcrop of the Lavender Shale Member of the Fort Payne Chert (Mississippian) near Ringgold, Catoosa County, northwest Georgia. The forms represent one new species of Australosutura Amos, Campbell, and Goldring, A. georgiana, and at least two species of Proetus Steininger. The specimens were found in silty claystone and silty clay shale.
