WhatsApp: +86 18203695377NORTH 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).

Because coal balls are accumulations of (degrading) plant material (technically peat), they also are an excellent source of various forms of decaying organisms, including fungi. Numerous fungal remains have been found in coal balls, including hyphae, spores, and various types of reproductive structures.

Goal balls (Figs. 504 505) are irregularly rounded masses ranging in diameter from a few millimetres to a metre. These occur often in great numbers within chunks of coal. Each ball is a mass of calcium and magnesium carbonate with, sometimes, iron sulphide.
