the Williamson No. 3 coal balls from the Kalo formation in Iowa. This HMC has early diagenetic rims of ferroan and nonferroan lowMg calcite (LMC) suggesting diagenesis in meteoric water. The combination of HMC followed by LMC suggests the earliest coal ball carbonate formed in a hydrologically dynamic environment, where saltwater influx
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 ...
Specimens occur in coal balls collected from the No. 7 coal seam of the Xishan Coal Field from the Xindao village (previously called Xiedao village), about km from Ximing in Shanxi Province, North China (Fig. 1).This seam is from the upper part of the Taiyuan Formation, which is considered to belong to the late Asselian or early Sakmarian stages of the Lower Permian (Pan et al. 1985; Tian ...

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 ...
What is a coal ball? It's an archive of the past, a moment frozen in time. It's a perfectly preservedwindow into what plants used to be like 300 million year...
Coal balls are calcareous peats with cellular permineralization invaluable for understanding the anatomy of Pennsylvanian and Permian fossil plants.

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 ...
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).

Calamites. This month's fossil is one of the most common fossils in the Eastern Kentucky Coal Field. It is the fossil horsetail rush, Calamites. Description. Calamites is a fossil "horsetail" or "scouring" rush. Rushes are reedlike plants with jointed stems. They belong to a class of plants called sphenopsids.

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 ...
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 ).
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 ).
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 ...

Dusts. Tweets by TechnicPack. File:Screenshot Dusts are gained from Macerating their respective ores. With the exception of Coal, which only returns one dust per piece, all ores when macerated will give 2 dusts of their type. Ingots can be macerated down again to form one dust.
The evaluation of organic material in the coal balls was based on peel studies from 50 randomly selected coal balls from all areas of the crop. Each coal ball regardless of size was considered as one unit. From many of the coal balls numerous peels were obtained but only 2 peels oriented normally to each other were evaluated from each concretion.
strip pits of the Pittsburgh and Midway Coal Company near West Mineral, in southeastern Kansas. Investi gations of coal balls from this recently discovered rich locality are now being conducted in several American paleobotanical laboratories. Baxter (1951) recently published a report of this coal ball occurrence; Dele
[1] Coal balls are in coal seams across North America and Eurasia. North American coal balls are in more places than in Europe. The oldest coal balls were found in Germany and former Czechoslovakia . In 1962, Sergius Mamay and Ellis Yochelson found signs of marine animal remains in North American coal balls. [2]
