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. As a result of a variety of conditions, small pockets of plant debris in Carboniferous swamps, infiltrated by mineral salts ...

Permineralized plant fossils (coal balls) of Bolsovian age (ex Westphalian C) were discovered in the Foord seam of the Stellarton Basin of Nova Scotia. The coalball plants were preserved in a sideritedolomite matrix and formed in a nonmarine intermontane setting. The coalball flora is dominated by arborescent lycopods and contains a few ferns, as well as occasional seed ferns, calamiteans ...
Edward William Binney, the first investigator of the Lancashire coalballs, was born at Morton in Nottinghamshire in 1812, and was thus only four years senior to Williamson. He settled in Manchester in 1836, and practised as a solicitor. He early showed scientific tastes; the Manchester Geological Society was started, chiefly by his influence ...
In 1962 the Botany Department moved into Morrill Hall.

The lab had two hoods, specialized microscope rooms, desk space for students and postdocs, and cabinets ...
NORTH AMERICAN COAL BALLS One final cryptic episode of Stopes's work on Carboniferous coal balls relates the discovery of coal balls in North America. That discovery has generally been attributed to Adolf Carl Noé (), who collected coal balls in Illinois and adjacent states, beginning in 1922 (Noé 1923; Morey and Lyons 1995).

normal coalball samples were relatively depleted in 13C (20 to 23 permil rel. PDB). This evidence indicated that isotopicallyenriched marine, inorganic carbon was an important source of carbonate in faunaltype coal balls and that isotopicallydepleted carbon from plant decomposition was the major source of carbonate in normal coal balls.

6. Coal Balls: Petrifactions of spherical specimens are generally termed coal balls. During the formation of coal balls the plant material in swamps gets infiltrated with carbonates of calcium or magnesium, so that the debris of plants will not get converted into coal. Coal ball plants are of great value in palaeobotanical studies. 7.

Still other specimens are found in calcified lumps called coal balls, so named because they are usually found in or near coal deposits. Paleoecology is the scientific study of past environments. Paleoecologists are interested in the ecosystem as a whole and derive their understanding of past environments from different lines of evidence ...
A review of coalball floras from Central and Western Europe is presented with special attention to recent studies of coal balls from England and Spain. ...

Abstract. Pachytesta stewartii, a new species found in Middle Pennsylvanian coal ball deposits in southern Illinois, is cm long and approximately cm in width at its greatest diameter. Commissured ribs are pronounced near the apex and progressively less distinct toward the base. The integumentary system is delimited into 3 regions: outer ...

Coal balls containing Callipteridium Sullivanti were collected from the PittsburgMidway Coal Company, approximately 8 mi. southwest of West Mineral, Kansas, and from the What Cheer Clay Products mine at What Cheer, Iowa. The Kansas coal balls are from the Fleming coal, Cherokee shale, Des Moines series of the Middle Pennsylvanian.

The exceptional preservation of plant fossils falls into two categories: whole plant preservation and anatomical detail. Whole plant preservation is controlled primarily by transport and event preservation (, ash falls), whereas anatomical preservation can occur through one of several taphonomic pathways: compressionimpression, silicification, coalball formation, pyritization, and ...
