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 ...

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.

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 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.

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 ...

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.

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 m 3; several areas contained >400 m 3 of coal balls. In‐mine mapping established that there were two types of roof (freshwater and marine ...

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.

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 (81100%), dolomiteankerite (019%), minor quartz and illite, and trace amounts of ...

Coal balls are original peat stages of the coal that were entombed by mineral matter, usually CaCO 3, generally very early in the postburial history of the peat body. They capture, in anatomical detail, the plant components of the original peat swamp, both aerial organs and roots (Phillips et al. 1976). And, although we may not be able to ...
