What is Coal Balls: Accumulations of (Degrading) Plant Material (Technically Peat) about?

Coal balls are petrified plant matter from the Upper Carboniferous Period, providing insights into ancient forests and containing various decaying organisms, particularly fungi. Moulds are imprints left by organisms in sediment, while cast fossils are formed when minerals fill these imprints, creating solid replicas. Pith casts of Calamites are common fossils characterized by their ribbed structure, representing the vascular strands of the plant.
