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 ...
Coal balls are carbonate and pyrite concretions enclosing uncompressed peat, primarily found in Pennsylvanian and earliest Permian paleotropical coals.
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 carbonate concretions that preserve peat in cellular detail. Despite their importance to paleobotany, the salinity of coalball peat remains controversial. Pennsylvanian...

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 and coal combustion byproducts are potential candidates for alternative resources of REEs (rare earth elements). The Illinois Basin is a major coalproducing district in the USA, but little work is available on speciation of REEs in the basin's coals. In this study, a total number of 382 samples from known locations in the Illinois Basin coal beds were acquired, analyzed for their REE ...
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. Inventing CoalBall Paleoecology Fieldwork is the unseen part of coalball studies, and collecting
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 ).
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 ...
cordaitean roots (2 coal balls, 4 polished thin sections); 3, decayed leaf mats in which individual leaves could still be discerned (2 coal balls, 3 polished thin sections); and 4, matrix rich peat consisting of peat matrix (organic particles with all dimensions ≤ 10 μm) roots and wood (1 coal ball, 1 polished thinsection; Fig. 3).
Coal balls can be appreciated only when they are examined under a microscope. Their value lies in the perfectly preserved cellforcell petrifaction of the original woody tissues. The cell walls are still there, as are spores still in the spore sacs of 275 millionyearold fruiting bodies. Preparation of these fossils is treated in Chapter X.
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 Hill Top Colliery was opened in 1948. In 1948, the National Coal Board built two drifts leading downwards into the average m (4 feet 6 inches) thick Union coal seam. [3] Under the National Coal Board it employed from 1950 to 1965 on average 101 men underground and 9 above. [4] At its peak there worked about 200 miners.
Large areas of concentrated coal balls (permineralized peat) up to 4 m thick obstructed longwall mining in the Herrin Coal at the Old Ben No. 24 mine. The largest coal‐ball area mapped contained >1500 m3; several areas contained >400 m3 of coal balls. In‐mine mapping established that there were two types of roof (freshwater and marine), and that the coal balls were spatially correlated ...
Coal balls are calcareous peats with cellular permineralization invaluable for understanding the anatomy of Pennsylvanian and Permian fossil plants.
One third (27/82) have coal balls, including 57% of major cycles, 36% of intermediate cycles and 16% of minor cycles. Coalball occurrence in the Donets Basin is similar: over an interval of about 4 (~315311 Ma, latest Bashkirian to midMoscovian), 39% (11/28) of transgressiveregressive cycles have coal balls. ...

fossil See all related content → coal ball, a lump of petrified plant matter, frequently spheroid, found in coal seams of the Upper Carboniferous Period (from 325,000,000 to 280,000,000 years ago). Coal balls are important sources of fossil information relating to the forests preceding the Coal Age.

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 ).
a nodule found in coal usually composed of calcite or silica and carbonaceous matter and having fragmentary or microscopic plant remains. See the full definition Menu Toggle
