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.

1. Introduction. Over 100 years have passed since Stopes and Watson (1909) proposed a marine origin for coal balls, which are carbonate concretions that formed in peat and contain anatomically preserved plant material. Most coal balls occur in paleotropical coals of Pennsylvanian and early Permian age. Although calcium carbonate is the primary mineral, coal balls usually contain pyrite ...

[Plate 1] Coal balls (exceptionally preserved calcareous permineralized peat), widely described from tropical Carboniferous Euramerian coal seams, have yielded diverse data on the biology, ontogeny and ecology of swamp plants and ecosystems. Probably over 75 %/ of the swamp taxa may have been preserved, in contrast to probably less then 10 %

Coal Balls. Millions of years ago, in the interval of geologic time called the Pennsylvanian, the presentday coal seams of the Midwest were layers of peatbeds of water soaked and somewhat rotted plant debris accumulated in thickly forested swamps. Deep burial by layers of sediments during a vast span of time changed almost all the peat into ...

Coal balls often form in acidic peats, or when seawater permeates the compressed plant matter. The carbonate forms a hardened ball that resists compression throughout burial, thereby preserving the plant remains in exceptional detail; even cellular details can be retained. Such structures can be studied using a range of techniques.

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 ).

Coal balls. 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). Individual coal balls can be inches to many feet in diameter, and coalball clusters may occupy a small part ...

A Coal ball is a permineralised life form that is full of calcium, magnesium and occasionally iron sulfide. They generally have a round shape. Coal balls are not made of coal, even though they have the name "coal ball". In 1855, two English scientists, Joseph Dalton Hooker and Edward William Binney, found coal balls in England.
