  • Maceral Types and Quality of Coal in the Tuli Coalfield: a Case
    applied sciences Article Maceral Types and Quality of Coal in the Tuli Coalfield: A Case Study of Coal in the Madzaringwe Formation in the Vele Colliery, Limpopo Province, South Africa Elelwani Denge * and Christopher Baiyegunhi Department of Geology and Mining, University of Limpopo, Private Bag X1106, Sovenga 0727, South Africa; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Featured Application: Authors are encouraged to provide a concise description of the specific application or a potential application of the work. This section is not mandatory. Abstract: The Madzaringwe Formation in the Vele colliery is one of the coal-bearing Late Palaeozoic units of the Karoo Supergroup, consisting of shale with thin coal seams and sandstones. Maceral group analysis was conducted on seven representative coal samples collected from three existing boreholes—OV125149, OV125156, and OV125160—in the Vele colliery to determine the coal rank and other intrinsic characteristics of the coal. The petrographic characterization revealed that vitrinite is the dominant maceral group in the coals, representing up to 81–92 vol.% (mmf) of the total sample. Collotellinite is the dominant vitrinite maceral, with a total count varying between 52.4 vol.% (mmf) and 74.9 vol.% (mmf), followed by corpogelinite, collodetrinite, tellinite, and pseudovitrinite with a Citation: Denge, E.; Baiyegunhi, C. count ranging between 0.8 and 19.4 vol.% (mmf), 1.5 and 17.5 vol.% (mmf), 0.8 and 6.5 vol.% (mmf) Maceral Types and Quality of Coal in the Tuli Coalfield: A Case Study of and 0.3 and 5.9 vol.% (mmf), respectively.

  • Taphonomy As an Aid to African Palaeontology*
    Palaeont. afr., 24 (1981 ) PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS: TAPHONOMY AS AN AID TO AFRICAN PALAEONTOLOGY* by C.K. Brain Transvaal Museum, P.O. Box 413, Pretoria 0001 SUMMARY Palaeontology has its roots in both the earth and life sciences. Its usefulness to geology comes from the light which the understanding of fossils may throw on the stratigraphic re­ lationships of sediments, or the presence of economic deposits such as coal or oil. In biology, the study of fossils has the same objectives as does the study of living animals or plants and such objectives are generally reached in a series of steps which may be set out as follows: STEP I. Discovering what forms of life are, or were, to be found in a particular place at a particular time. Each form is allocated a name and is fitted into a system of classification. These contributions are made by the taxonomist or the systematist. STEP 2. Gaining afuller understanding ofeach described taxon as a living entity. Here the input is from the anatomist, developmental biologist, genetIcIst, physi­ ologist or ethologist and the information gained is likely to modify earlier decisions taken on the systematic position of the forms involved. STEP 3. Understanding the position ofeach form in the living community or ecosystem. This step is usually taken by a population biologist or ecologist. Hopefully, any competent neo- or palaeobiologist (I use the latter term deliberately in this context in preference to "palaeontologist") should be able to contribute to more than one of the steps outlined above. Although the taxonomic and systematic steps have traditionally been taken in museums or related institutions, it is encouraging to see that some of the steps subsequent to these very basic classificatory ones are now also being taken by museum biol­ ogists.

    Palaeontological Impact Assessment for the proposed construction of one large residential township in Maokeng, Kroonstad, Free State Province Desktop Study For Archaeological and Heritage Services Africa (Pty) Ltd Prof Marion Bamford Palaeobotanist P Bag 652, WITS 2050 Johannesburg, South Africa [email protected] Expertise of Specialist The Palaeontologist Consultant is: Prof Marion Bamford Qualifications: PhD (Wits Univ, 1990); FRSSAf, ASSAf Experience: 30 years research; 23 years PIA studies Declaration of Independence This report has been compiled by Professor Marion Bamford, of the University of the Witwatersrand, sub-contracted by Archaeological and Heritage Services Africa (Pty) Ltd, South Africa. The views expressed in this report are entirely those of the author and no other interest was displayed during the decision making process for the Project. Specialist: Prof Marion Bamford Signature: 1 Executive Summary A palaeontological Impact Assessment was requested for the proposed construction of a large area of residential housing, the northern Maokeng Housing Development, Kroonstad. To comply with the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) in terms of Section 38(8) of the National Heritage Resources Act, 1999 (Act No. 25 of 1999) (NHRA), a desktop Palaeontological Impact Assessment (PIA) was completed for the proposed project. The proposed sites lie on the sandstones and mudstones of the late Permian, Adelaide Subgroup, Beaufort Group, Karoo Supergroup. Although fossils have not been reported from this site there is a small chance that typical vertebrates of the Pristerognathus, Tropidostoma, Cistecephalus and Dicynodon Assemblage Zones could occur, as well as typical (but very infrequent) late Glossopteris flora plants, could occur in the sediments just below the surface.
