.... Beds with soft-tissue preservation at the Beecher's Trilobite Bed site in the Frankfort Shale and the Martin Quarry in the Whetstone Gulf Formation (both Ordovician, New York State) are dominated by the olenid Triarthrus. A bed-by-bed analysis of the sedimentology, taphonomy, paleoecology...

... ( Conway Morris, 1986 ; Wilby et al., 1996 ; Gabbott et al., 2004 ; Van Roy, 2006 ; Cai and Hua, 2007 ; Farrell and Briggs, 2007 ), widespread pyritization of animal soft tissues is known only from the Devonian Hunsrück Slate in Germany and the Ordovician Beecher's Trilobite Bed in New York. Even...

...Derek E.G. Briggs; Simon H. Bottrell; Robert Raiswell Abstract Although pyrite is ubiquitous in fine-grained, organic, carbon-bearing marine sediments, it is only rarely involved in the preservation of soft-bodied organisms. Beecher's Trilobite Bed in Upper Ordovician strata of New York State...

... isotope data provide support for these associations of porewater chemistry and style of fossil pyritization. The best-described examples are for soft tissue pyritization in Beecher's Trilobite Bed (Ordovician) and the Hünsruck Slate (Devonian), where the isotopic data are consistent with rapid, early...

Of the Ordovician Konservat-Lagerstätten, the Katian (Upper Ordovician) Beecher's Trilobite Bed and its equivalents from the Lorraine Group, NY, USA, have the most comparable depositional environment to the Llanfallteg...

... in which unaltered pyrite is the dominant phase: Beecher's Trilobite Bed and similar local occurrences (Ordovician of New York State; Farrell et al., 2009 ) and the much more extensive Hunsrück Slate (Devonian of Germany; Bartels et al., 1998 ). These appear to share fundamental aspects of taphonomy...

... Lagerstätten, the Walcott-Rust Quarry and Beecher's Trilobite Bed, particularly intrigue me. Paleontology is one of the very few sciences, along with astronomy, where an amateur can still get significantly involved and make a contribution. In both cases relationships with professionals are very important...

... in fossils throughout the rock record, soft tissues are rarely preserved by pyrite ( Farrell et al., 2009 ). The most famous two such Lagerstätten are the Devonian Hunsrück Slate and the Ordovician Beecher's Trilobite Bed ( Raiswell et al., 2008 ). In addition, extensive pyritization of soft tissues occurs...

The data analyzed here are those of Cisne ( 1973 ), based on a sample of the olenid trilobite T. eatoni ( Fig. 1 ) from the base of “Beecher's Trilobite bed,” a ca. 4 cm mudstone turbidite bed present at a locality within the Frankfort Shale, near Rome, New York, U.S.A.
