Coal types: Hard coals. Bituminous coal is harder and blacker than lignite and subbituminous coal, and can be divided into two types: thermal and metallurgical. Together, they make up 52 percent ...
Coal balls and cherts to date represent the only sources of evidence for fossil Peronosporomycetes. ... Perhaps the best fossil interpreted as a peronosporomycete is preserved in a coal ball from the Lower Coal Measures (Lower Pennsylvanian, ca. 315 000 000 y ago Ma) of Great Britain. ... Wood decay in silicified gymnosperms from Antarctica ...
and sideritization, whereby silicified, calcified and dolomitized coal balls are best preserved (Zheng et al. 2008). Significantly, the number of fossil wood specimens in western Liaoning is very high, and most of them are silicified. Anatomically, the majority of fossil wood specimens from western Liaoning contain wellpreserved secondary
The bestknown and moststudied petrified wood specimens are those that are mineralized with polymorphs of silica: opalA, opalC, chalcedony, and quartz. Less familiar are fossil woods preserved ...

silicified specimens, leaving the original wood intact" [5]. The problem with these conjectures is the scarcity of supporting evidence. Petrifaction of plant tissues via cellular permineralization is well documented for calcareous coal balls, siliceous lagerstätten, and silicaencrusted wood in modern hot springs, as well as
North Dakota petrified wood is variously preserved, from specimens that are well silicified, to splintery, and even grading to lignite coal (coalified trees). The degree of petrification can even vary within a single specimen; individual stumps or logs sometimes contain both well silicified and coalified parts.
The bestknown and moststudied petrified wood specimens are those that are mineralized with polymorphs of silica: opalA, opalC, chalcedony, and quartz. Less familiar are fossil woods preserved with nonsilica minerals. This report reviews discoveries of woods mineralized with calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, various iron and copper minerals, manganese oxide, fluorite, barite, natrolite ...
Examples described in this report range from dolomite wood that contains quartzfilled fractures (Washington, USA) to silicified wood that contains abundant copper minerals (Turkey "colla wood").
In geology, silicification is a petrification process in which silica rich fluids seep into the voids of Earth materials,, rocks, wood, bones, shells, and replace the original materials with silica (SiO 2 ). Silica is a naturally existing and abundant compound found in organic and inorganic materials, including Earth's crust and mantle.
silicified wood that contains only a very small proportion of the original material. Thus, a fossilization process that began as permineralization ultimately produces a petrifaction that could
When a fossil organism is subjected to mineral replacement, it is said to be petrified. For example, petrified wood may be replaced with chalcedony, or shells replaced with pyrite. This means that out of all fossils, only the creature itself could be fossilized by petrification . And not all fossil organisms are petrified.
Type # 1. Petrification: Petrification is the best but perhaps the rarest type of fossilisation. This literally means transformation of the organic tissues into stone.
The dark color of the fossil wood and siliceous matrix appears to be caused by traces of dispersed carbon, but 500 C Loss on Ignition reveals that the fossil wood preserves only very small amounts of
Polished slice of a petrified tree from the Late Triassic Epoch (approximately 230 million years ago) found in remains of insects can be detected in an enlarged image. Petrified log at the Petrified Forest National Park. Petrified wood, also known as petrified tree (from Ancient Greek πέτρα meaning 'rock' or 'stone'; literally 'wood turned into stone'), is the name given to a ...
Petrified wood has traditionally been divided into two categories based on preservation processes: permineralization (where tissues are entombed within a mineralfilled matrix) and replacement (where organic anatomical features have been replicated by inorganic materials). New analytical evidence suggests that for most petrified wood, permineralization and replacement are not independent ...
Examples described in this report range from dolomite wood that contains quar tzfilled fractures (Washington, USA) to silicified wood that contains abundant copper minerals (Turkey "colla wood").
For many decades, wood silicification has been viewed as a relatively simple process of permineralization that occurs when silica dissolved in groundwater precipitates to fill vacant spaces within the porous tissue. The presence of specific silica minerals is commonly ascribed to diagenetic changes.
The exceptional preservation of plant fossils falls into two categories: whole plant preservation and anatomical detail. Whole plant preservation is controlled primarily by transport and event preservation (, ash falls), whereas anatomical preservation can occur through one of several taphonomic pathways: compressionimpression, silicification, coalball formation, pyritization, and ...
Silicified wood can present various types of silica. Scurfield and Segnit [61] recognized four forms: (i) ... Dolomitized and calcitized wood is known from Carboniferous and Permian "coal balls" [50]. Generally, ... An example of NMR analysis that was combined with light and scanning electron microscopy is detailed in a recent work ...

Anatomically, the majority of fossil wood specimens from western Liaoning contain wellpreserved secondary
Oligocene and Miocene caldera basins contain abundant petrified wood that ranges in composition from incipient silicification to complete permineralization. Examination of specimens from 21 localities reveals that the petrifaction sequence can follow multiple pathways.
