The coalball discovery helps fill a stratigraphic gap in coalball occurrences in the upper Carboniferous (Bolsovian) of Euramerica. The autochthonous and hypautochthonous coalballs have a similar mineralogical composition and are composed of siderite (81), dolomiteankerite (019%), minor quartz and illite, and trace amounts of ...
Nature and occurrence of the coal balls. The faunal coal balls of GaruGensi area generally occur in the coal and carbonaceous shale of Bomte Member of Bichom Formation (Table 1).These concretions can be easily identified on surface by their subrounded to oval and occasional elliptical shape (Fig. 3a, b). The coal balls are very hard to break and are arranged along the bedding planes of ...
A coal ball is a type of concretion, varying in shape from an imperfect sphere to a flatlying, irregular slab. Coal balls were formed in Carboniferous Period swamps and mires, when peat was prevented from being turned into coal by the high amount of calcite surrounding the peat; the calcite caused it to be turned into stone instead.
A coal ball is a type of concretion, varying in shape from an imperfect sphere to a flatlying, irregular slab. Coal balls were formed in Carboniferous Period swamps and mires, when peat was prevented from being turned into coal by the high amount of calcite surrounding the peat; the calcite caused it to be turned into stone instead. As such, despite not actually being made of coal, the coal ...
Coal ball, a lump of petrified plant matter, frequently spheroid, found in coal seams of the Upper Carboniferous Period. As a result of a variety of conditions, small pockets of plant debris in Carboniferous swamps, infiltrated by mineral salts, became petrified rather than changed into coal.
Coal balls are carbonate concretions that preserve peat in cellular detail. Despite their importance to paleobotany, the salinity of coalball peat remains controversial. Pennsylvanian coal...
Identification and Description[iv] Daldinia concentrica is a relatively easy to identify mushroom that resembles hard, roundish lumps of coal stuck to the surface of decaying deadwood. Furthermore, unlike most other mushrooms, D. concentrica does not possess a cap, gills, pores, or even a stem. Instead, this species has a fruitbody composed of ...
The pedogenic formation of coal balls by CO2 degassing through the rootlets of arborescent lycopsids. Coal balls are calcium carbonate accumulations that permineralized peat in paleotropical PermoCarboniferous (∼320250 Ma) mires. The formation of coal balls has been debated for over a century yet a..
Portions of the frond of Neuropteris rarinervis have been identified in coal balls from the Herrin and Springfield coal of the Eastern Interior basin of North America, providing for the first time anatomical details of this well known compression species. Authors: OestryStidd, L L. Publication Date: Jan 01, 1979. Product Type:
Coal balls are permineralized peat, mainly found in Upper of Europe and North America but also in some Chinese Permian coals. Coal balls are predominantly calcium carbonate which has precipitated in the cell lumina and spaces between the plants within a peat formed in a mire ( Scott and Rex, 1985 ). Formation
Coal balls were calcareous Histosols (peats), currently rare, and of two microbiome types. • Holocene calcareous peats in Eight Mile Creek, South Australia, were aerobic respirogenic. • Respirogenic coal balls have correlated calcite δ 18 O and δ 13 C like those of desert soils. •
cium cal.'borrate and pyrite, commonly referred to as "coal balls." In central Iowa such coal balls frequently occur in the coal seams of the Des Moines Series, Cherokee Group, of Middle Pennsylvanian age (Landis, 1965). Although the occurrence of petrified Lepidophloios speci mens in Iowa coal balls has previously been noted by An drews
Balls Head Reserve facing Berrys Bay and McMahons Point. The Reserve was named after Henry Lidgbird Ball, a Royal Naval officer and commander of one of the ships that were part of the First Fleet that arrived in Botany Bay in 1788.. Before the arrival of white settlement, the Cammeraygal people lived in this part of New South Wales. Middens, art sites, and rock engravings are still present in ...

liage found in coal balls. Petrifactions (coal balls) are an important source of information concerning the anatomical structure of both the laminate foliage and associated or connected frond members. Such specimens are commonly seen in sectional view. Petrified laminate foliage connected to rachides provides a means of establishing relationships
Coal balls are calcium carbonate accumulations that permineralized peat in paleotropical PermoCarboniferous (∼320250 Ma) mires. The formation of coal balls has been debated for over a century yet a widely applicable model is lacking. Two observations have been particularly challenging to explain: 1) the narrow temporal occurrence of coal balls and 2) their typical elemental (high Mg) and ...
From the perspective of Phanerozoic time, coal balls are rare, apparently limited to a 24 interval (323299 Ma) in the Pennsylvanian and earliest within this interval, coal balls occur in many coals. Approximately 82 transgressiveregressive sedimentary cycles have been described for the Midcontinent, Illinois and Appalachian basins of North America during the midtolate ...

Thin coal rims or streaks on the outside of some fossils represent all that is left of the original plant tissue. Permineralized Calamites which include original plant details are preserved in rare deposits called coal balls, but these are usually only found in active coal mines, so are not found by collectors.
Coal balls represent early, peatstage mineralization somewhat analogous to concretions in shale (, Phillips et al., 1976). Although a nuisance for mining, coal balls from these two seams can preserve peatforming plant structures to the cellular level and have been very important in reconstructing Desmoinesian plant biology and ecology ...
Coal balls are petrified pockets of plant debris that were preserved 280 million to 325 million years ago during the Upper Carboniferous Period, sometimes called the Great Coal Age. Plants immortalized in these coal balls are preserved at the cellular level, details not preserved in other types of fossils.
The split coal balls are initially studied for petrography and it was observed that the quartz grains in the coal balls are small (< silt size) and below the resolution capabilities of a standard Petrological microscope though on rotation of the stage under crossed nicols, at places shows mild undulose extinction of micro quartz grain (Fig. 4 ...

These coal balls are calcium carbonate concretions that formed in situ in some Carboniferous peats that structurally preserve the 3dimensional anatomy of the plant material present in the peat ...
Coal balls (mineralized peat) are common wherever marine rocks overlie the Herrin. They are generally composed of limestone partly replaced by pyrite. Isolated coal balls mostly are found near the top of the member. Large masses of coal balls up to 100 ft (30 m) across and replacing the entire height of the coal have been encountered in several ...
A coal ball fresh from the seam is a rather undistinguished ob jecta rounded to irregularly shaped, dull brownrock crusted with coal. A casual examination of such a coal ball may not reveal that it contains a mass of tightly packed plant debris. It is certainly not obvious that some of the plant materials are intact organs and tissues with ...
The ratio of shoot debris to root debris within Urbandale coalball peats suggests that most of this deposit formed in a freshwater swamp. However, coalball peats with extremely low shootroot ratios (no shoots to ) also occur in the Urbandale deposit. These are dominated by cordaitalean roots and may have formed in saltwater swamps.
Coalball areas, large deposits of mineralized peat in the coal seam, obstructed longwall mining in the Herrin Coal at Old Ben Mine No. 24. Inmine mapping located coal balls under transitional roof areas where the roof lithology alternates between the Energy Shale and the Anna Shale/Brereton Limestone. Specifically, coal balls occur under ...
Coal balls. In Lancashire, especially in the Burnley area, peat concretions are known as coal balls or colloquially as Burnley bobbers. They are particularly common in the seams of the Upper Foot Mine and Lower Mountain Mine in East Lancashire but also in the mines in Todmorden Moor on the eastern edge of this coal field. Due to their hardness ...
