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 m3; several areas contained >400 m3 of coal balls. In‐mine mapping established that there were two types of roof (freshwater and marine), and that the coal balls were spatially correlated ...

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.

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).

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.

Coal and coal combustion byproducts are potential candidates for alternative resources of REEs (rare earth elements). The Illinois Basin is a major coalproducing district in the USA, but little work is available on speciation of REEs in the basin's coals. In this study, a total number of 382 samples from known locations in the Illinois Basin coal beds were acquired, analyzed for their REE ...

The coalball discovery helps fill a stratigraphic gap in coalball occurrences in the upper Carboniferous (Bolsovian) of Euramerica.

These coal balls contain a similar flora to those in situ in the seam and have been reworked and rounded soon after their formation as the overlying sediments have been deposited on top of both the coal and channel (R.

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 ...

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 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.

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 ).
