The physical and digital curation of cellulose acetate peels and other types of coal ball specimens is critical for longterm preservation and accessibility. Physical curation involves embedding coal balls in media to slow pyrite deterioration. Digital curation creates highresolution scans of peels, which can be shared and accessed online.

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.
