The physical and digital curation of cellulose acetate peels and other types of coal ball specimens is critical for longterm preservation and accessibility. Physical curation involves embedding coal balls in media to slow pyrite deterioration. Digital curation creates highresolution scans of peels, which can be shared and accessed online.
A coal ball is a type of concretion, varying in shape from an imperfect sphere to a flatlying, irregular 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 ...
Steubenville CoalBall Flora1 GAR W. ROTHWELL, Department of Botany, Ohio University, Athens, OH 45701 ABSTRACT. The Upper Pennsylvanian (Conemaugh Group) Duquesne Coal west of Steubenville, Ohio represents a deltaic peataccumulating swamp, and is one of the best known of coal swamp floras. In a few places,
Sometimes, presence of coal ball in the roof of a coal seam is considered as a marker horizon. Growth of dolomite may be influenced by marine invasion. In course of coalification, calcite and ankarite may develop along cracks and fissures. At around 900 °C calcite changes to lime while dolomite alters to lime as well as periclase.
Concept of Paloebotany: Palaeobotany or the study of fossil plants,, the plants existed in the past and now are entirely extinct. This is the difficult branch of Botany in respect that the fossil plants are difficult to obtain and they are rather scarce. Whenever the fossil plants are found, they are in parts which are to be coordinated.
Coal balls and roofnodules are the most important concretions occurring with coal seams. Coal balls have been known for a long time in Europe, but have been ...

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.

Department of Botany, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210 ABSTRACT ... Eggert, 1969), only two coalball occurrences from the Appalachian Basin are noted in the literature (Schopf, 1961; Cross, 1967). To our knowledge, no coalball occurrence have been reported in the state of Ohio, but recent inquiries have
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 ...
Coal balls An other example of exceptional preservation is that of the coal balls. These are concretions of calcium carbonate and/or other minerals, ... Tom Volk's Fungus of the Month Pages... Blastomycosis or Brazilian Blastomycosis. with coauthor Travis Mossman Dec. 2004.
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 ...

InstruZetor, Henry Shaw School of Botany of Washington University The occurrence in America of the petrifactions known as coalballs has been known for many years and in itself needs no review. It is, however, still rather generally accepted that American coalballs are by no means the equal of the renowned English specimens
The coal ball floras are dominated by cordaitopsids and lycopsids, with the marattialean fern Psaronius as a common element. This is generally consistent with the known macrofloral assemblages but represents a more restricted range of taxa due to the limited number of known occurrences. ... American Journal of Botany, 96 (9) (2009), pp. 1676 ...
Coal Balls. BACK = Biodiversity assessment using coal balls. In this activity, the student will learn about fossil plants contained in coal balls and how plants have responded to climate change. It integrates the fields of botany, paleobotany, geology and ecology. The activity is scalable and parts could be used for a lab with a minilecture to ...
