Balls Head Reserve facing Berrys Bay and McMahons Point. The Reserve was named after Henry Lidgbird Ball, a Royal Naval officer and commander of one of the ships that were part of the First Fleet that arrived in Botany Bay in 1788.. Before the arrival of white settlement, the Cammeraygal people lived in this part of New South Wales. Middens, art sites, and rock engravings are still present in ...

Coal 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 ...

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 ...

Coal balls occur in a narrow time interval of 24 in the Pennsylvanian and earliest Permian. • 33% of North American transgressiveregressive cycles in the study interval have coal balls. • In the Donets Basin, we estimate that 39% of TR cycles have coal balls. •

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 m 3; several areas contained >400 m 3 of coal balls. In‐mine mapping established that there were two types of roof (freshwater and marine ...

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.

"Coal balls perfectly preserve a window into what plants used to be like 300 million years ago.'' The plant life of that age would have resembled alien forests today, Punyasena said.

Coal balls. In Lancashire, especially in the Burnley area, peat concretions are known as coal balls or colloquially as Burnley bobbers. They are particularly common in the seams of the Upper Foot Mine and Lower Mountain Mine in East Lancashire but also in the mines in Todmorden Moor on the eastern edge of this coal field. Due to their hardness ...

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 fresh from the seam is a rather undistinguished ob jecta rounded to irregularly shaped, dull brownrock crusted with coal.

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 ratio of shoot debris to root debris within Urbandale coalball peats suggests that most of this deposit formed in a freshwater swamp. However, coalball peats with extremely low shootroot ratios (no shoots to ) also occur in the Urbandale deposit. These are dominated by cordaitalean roots and may have formed in saltwater swamps.
