WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The 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 ...
WhatsApp: +86 182036953776. Coal Balls: Petrifactions of spherical specimens are generally termed coal balls. During the formation of coal balls the plant material in swamps gets infiltrated with carbonates of calcium or magnesium, so that the debris of plants will not get converted into coal. Coal ball plants are of great value in palaeobotanical studies. 7.
