Hmm, I only know some references.

Derek Briggs was looking at it some ten years ago:


Briggs DEG, Bottrell SH, Raiswell R (1991). Pyritization of soft-bodied
fossils - Beecher Trilobite  Bed, Upper Ordovician, New York State. Geology
19, 1221-1224.


And

Briggs DEG, Edgecombe GD (1993). Beecher's Trilobite Bed. Geology Today 9,
97-102.

 

Rob Raiswell (who has worked on the geochemistry) has the email address
R.Raiswell@earth.leeds.ac.uk

try also:

Whiteley TE (1998). Fossil Lagerstatten of New York, Part 1; Beecher's
trilobite bed. American Paleontologist 6,2-4.
