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 ...

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 ...
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.

Definition and formation: Coal balls are calcareous masses of fossil peat found in coal beds. They are formed in the original peat before it undergoes coalification (DeMaris and others, 1983; Scott and others, 1996).
Acetate paper with a thickness of inches is used to make the first peel of a coal ball after it has been cut with a rock saw. This paper type can also be used for test peels to identify the optimum etching time in acid. The .005inchthick acetate paper is more robust, reducing the chance of damage when removed.

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.

The pyrite coal balls occurrence modes in the C1 coal seam are likely the result of coalforming plants and Ferich siliceous solutions in neutral to weak alkaline conditions during late syngenetic stages or early epigenetic stages within paleomires. This appears to be the first report of pyritic coal balls in terrestrial coal seams in South China.
[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]

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 ...

The pedogenic formation of coal balls by CO2 degassing through the rootlets of arborescent lycopsids. 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..

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.
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 occur in a narrow time interval of 24 in the Pennsylvanian and earliest Permian. • 33% of North American transgressiveregressive cycles in the study interval have coal balls. • In the Donets Basin, we estimate that 39% of TR cycles have coal balls. •
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.
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 ).
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 ...

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 ...
The geographic distribution of coal balls of China and their stratigraphic range are very wide. Fossil plants in coal balls are abundant Floras of coal balls of Jingyuan Gansu contain the same content as those of the Hauptfloz coal of Ruhr and the Kokfloz coal of Ostrau (Namur C) in Europe. Coal balls of Shanxi and Shandong (P1) are abundant and highly diversified with flourished Cathaysian ...
