North Dakota petrified wood is variously preserved, from specimens that are well silicified, to splintery, and even grading to lignite coal (coalified trees). The degree of petrification can even vary within a single specimen; individual stumps or logs sometimes contain both well silicified and coalified parts.

The coal formation process involves the burial of peat, which is made of partly decayed plant materials, deep underground. The heat and pressure of burial alters the texture and increases the carbon content of the peat, which transforms it into coal, a type of sedimentary rock. This process takes millions of years. Types, or "ranks," of coal are determined by carbon content. There are four ...

Coal Balls. Because coal balls are accumulations of (degrading) plant material (technically peat), they also are an excellent source of various forms of decaying organisms, including fungi. Numerous fungal remains have been found in coal balls, including hyphae, spores, and various types of reproductive structures.

Usually occurs with bone or wood. Each pore in the material is filled with a mineral (usually agate or jasper). • Carbonization. The plant or animal is flattened between layers of finegrained sediment, and most organic molecules are forced out leaving behind only carbon (frequently occurs in fish fossils in shale). • Molds and casts.

Silicified Dadoxylontype wood occurs in different horizons of sandy/arkosic fluvial facies and is more common; one of the best known is the Štikov Arkoses of the Kumburk Formation, which is stratigraphically correlated with the Žaltman Arkoses in the ISB due to the occurrence of those fossils (Pešek et al., 2001).

Here, we describe permineralized wood specimens recently collected in the Erillcastell Basin (Central Pyrenees, Catalonia, Spain). They represent the first evidence of anatomically preserved plants from a late Pennsylvanian intramontane basin of the Iberian Peninsula. The excellent preservation of the specimens enabled us to assign them to two ...

In geology, silicification is a petrification process in which silica rich fluids seep into the voids of Earth materials,, rocks, wood, bones, shells, and replace the original materials with silica (SiO 2 ). Silica is a naturally existing and abundant compound found in organic and inorganic materials, including Earth's crust and mantle.

The examples are silicified wood, coalballs etc. The coalballs are of localised occurrence which are irregularly rounded concrete masses, commonly made up of calcite containing preserved fragments of coal forming plants. Each coalballs contains calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate and sometimes iron sulphate. 2.

Further, Taylor et al. (2011) have pointed out a bias in sample preparation, with thin sections of coal balls showing better preservation of fungal structures than acetate peels. That said, for example, while funginite was present in Pennsylvanian coals ( Richardson et al., 2012 ), it was not as diversified in the Pennsylvanian as in later coals.

Petrified wood has traditionally been divided into two categories based on preservation processes: permineralization (where tissues are entombed within a mineralfilled matrix) and replacement (where organic anatomical features have been replicated by inorganic materials). New analytical evidence suggests that for most petrified wood, permineralization and replacement are not independent ...
