The coal balls saved, therefore, represent only a fraction of the actual processing activity of the lab. The peels, like the coal balls themselves, were, and still are as of this writing, systematically organized, housed, and labeled.

Coalballs are nodulelike rocks native to coal seams that contain mineralized plant organs or tissues (Zodrow et al., 1996), and are used for studies on coalforming plant species, structural morphology, and coalforming environments (Hilton et al., 2001, Wang et al., 2002, Zhou et al., 2004 ).

Definition. 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 ).

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 ...

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 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. •

Coal balls may be concretionary as there name implies, but more commonly are irregular masses complexly interfingering with the surrounding coal. Coal balls may be inches to many feet in diameter and height, so will commonly look like a limestone bed in a narrow core. Coal balls tend to be brown in color and the coalball limestone includes ...

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 ...

A Coal ball is a permineralised life form that is full of calcium, magnesium and occasionally iron sulfide. They generally have a round shape. Coal balls are not made of coal, even though they have the name "coal ball". In 1855, two English scientists, Joseph Dalton Hooker and Edward William Binney, found coal balls in England.

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.

Introduction. Coal balls were best defined by Seward (1895, p. 85). "In the Coal Measures of England, especially in the neighbourhood of Halifax in Yorkshire, and in South Lancashire, the seams of coal occasionally contain calcareous nodules varying in size from a nut to a man's head, and consisting of about 70% of carbonate of calcium and magnesium, and 30% oxide of iron, sulphide of iron, etc.

Coal balls floras from the Taiyuan Formation in north China have been mainly studied by Tian Baolin and collaborators, from the no. 7 coal seam in the Xishan coal field and have been summarised by Li et al., 1995, Tian et al., 1996. From these works quantitative studies have been undertaken, compiled from hundreds of coal balls (Wang et al., 1995).

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 ...

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 ...

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.
