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 'calcite'.

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 ...

As a result of a variety of conditions, small pockets of plant debris in Carboniferous swamps, infiltrated by mineral salts, became petrified rather than changed into coal.

This is called "pyrite disease" in fossils and is characterized by a moldlike appearance on the cut surface of the coal ball. To prevent destruction, the surface can be coated with a sealant. Coal balls can also be stored in an lowoxygen medium like glycerin or antifreeze.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Coal 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 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 ...

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Coal 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 widely applicable model is lacking. Two observations have been particularly challenging to explain: 1) the narrow temporal occurrence of coal balls and 2) their typical elemental (high Mg) and ...
