I enjoy seeing beekite fossils so I'll give this thread a little bump and see if anyone wants to contribute more beekite. This is a Triplophyllum dalei I collected this summer from the old Meramec Bridge site in Fenton, Missouri. Warsaw Formation, Mississippian. I like this specimen because of all the different stages of beekite and the color variations.

Nice example! I’ve already contributed to the thread, but like you, I also enjoy beekite. I might be able to scrounge up a few more specimens to add. Off I go to dig through the collection.

Could you recommend a source that I can read to learn about the chemical process in which beekite rings form?  And I didn't realize that beekite didn't have to occur in rings - very interesting!  Thanks,  -DebPG
