In this type of plant fossil cell of plant tissue is retained by means of some mineral like CaCo3, silica etc that has infiltered the tissue. In this type of fossil sometimes the material of original plant may be preserved : coal balls, silicified wood.
Usually occurs with bone or wood. Each pore in the material is filled with a mineral (usually agate or jasper). • Carbonization. The plant or animal is flattened between layers of finegrained sediment, and most organic molecules are forced out leaving behind only carbon (frequently occurs in fish fossils in shale). • Molds and casts.
The first phase in the stepwise collapse of the Carboniferous Coal Forests occurred near the DesmoinesianMissourian boundary (early Kasimovian, ~ 307 Ma), and involved extirpation of Lycosporaproducing lepidodendrids, and some other lycopsids, across most of tropical this paper, we followup on historical reports of silicified treestumps in Peoria County, northwestcentral ...
A clampbearing fossil fungus is reported from silicified plant tissues of earlymiddle Triassic age from Antarctica. Palaeofibulus antarctica gen. et sp. nov. represents the third unequivocal ...
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
The three specimens analysed, up to 25 cm in diameter, were found to belong to the same type of wood; they are described on the basis of the best preserved specimen. The permineralised axes are wellpreserved with a parenchymatous pith, endarch primary xylem and pycnoxylic secondary xylem.

Some supporters of the in situ theory believe that Stopes' and Watson's discovery of a plant stem extending through multiple coal balls shows that coal balls formed in situ, stating that the drift theory fails to explain Stopes' and Watson's observation.
"coal balls" and other calcareous concretions, ... Two of the bestknown examples are the D evonian Rhynie Chert in ... Color of silicified wood may be influenced by the presence of relict ...
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 ...
Abstract. Several pieces of fossil wood have been analyzed with Xray diffraction and were grouped on the basis of mineralogical composition. Various mineralizations were studied in thin sections ...
A study of silicified wood from the Triassicaged Chinle Formation of Arizona supports the parameters above. Sigleo (1979) compared the geochemistry of silicified wood and its associated sediments (sandstone with some siltstone and clay) to determine the environmental conditions for the process of wood mineralization.
Permineralization is well documented for plant tissues preserved in calcareous "coal balls", modern hot spring sinter, and some fossiliferous cherts, and in these specimens significant amounts of relict organic matter may be preserved.
Silicified birch leaves and wood are common, especially in areas where the water flows through the vegetated areas of the discharge apron. The unique facies architecture and topography of the discharge apron around Geysir, which developed in response to the interaction between many different variables, provide a depositional model that can be ...

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.

Silicified Dadoxylontype wood occurs in different horizons of sandy/arkosic fluvial facies and is more common; one of the best known is the Štikov Arkoses of the Kumburk Formation, which is stratigraphically correlated with the Žaltman Arkoses in the ISB due to the occurrence of those fossils (Pešek et al., 2001). Fossiliferous Stará Paka ...
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 ...
Further, Taylor et al. (2011) have pointed out a bias in sample preparation, with thin sections of coal balls showing better preservation of fungal structures than acetate peels. That said, for example, while funginite was present in Pennsylvanian coals ( Richardson et al., 2012 ), it was not as diversified in the Pennsylvanian as in later coals.
from borings in Carboniferous wood have been reported by C. Brongniart ( 1877) and Williamson (1880), while Scott (1977) has described coprolites from Carboniferous shales. Coprolites contained in coal balls were noted by Mamay and Yochelson (1953) and later figured by them as 'coprolitic pellets of unknown organism' (Mamay
