TLDR
The role of fungus in the formation of coal macerals, both as a primary contributor in the form of a fungus fossil/maceral funginite, and in their role in degrading wood, thus producing degraded maceral forms, has been established.

Petrology, mineralogy, and geochemistry of the Ge-rich coal from the Wulantuga Ge ore deposit, Inner Mongolia, China: New data and genetic implications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported new data on the petrological, mineralogical, and geochemical compositions of 13 bench samples of the high-Ge No 6 coal from the Wulantuga deposit, and provided new insight into the origin and modes of occurrence of the minerals and elements present.

Mineralogical and geochemical compositions of the coal in the Guanbanwusu Mine, Inner Mongolia, China: Further evidence for the existence of an Al (Ga and REE) ore deposit in the Jungar Coalfield

TL;DR: The No. 6 coal from the Guanbanwusu Mine, Jungar Coalfield, Inner Mongolia, the authors has a low rank (Ro,ran = 0.56%) and a low-sulfur content (St,d ǫ= 0.58%) and the proportion of inertinite in the coal is higher than that of vitrinite (31%).

Geochemical and mineralogical evidence for a coal-hosted uranium deposit in the Yili Basin, Xinjiang, northwestern China

TL;DR: In this article, the petrological, geochemical, and mineralogical compositions of coal-hosted Jurassic uranium ore deposit in the Yili Basin of Xinjiang province, northwestern China, were investigated using optical microscopy and field emission-scanning electron microscopy in conjunction with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer, as well as Xray powder diffraction, Xray fluorescence, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

The new inertinite classification (ICCP System 1994)

Organic Petrology
- 01 Apr 1998 - 
TL;DR: In the ICCP System 1994, the maceral group inertinite was enlarged to include seven macerals by replacing the former maceral sclerotinite by two others, called funginite and secretinite as mentioned in this paper.

Assembling the fungal tree of life: progress, classification, and evolution of subcellular traits

TL;DR: This study provides a phylogenetic synthesis for the Fungi and a framework for future phylogenetic studies on fungi and the impact of this newly discovered phylogenetic structure on supraordinal classifications is discussed.

The Pre-Quaternary history of fire

TL;DR: Charcoal has been widely reported from Tertiary sediments and its appearance in the Quaternary and Recent is not solely as a result of human impact, but this interpretation is questionable as discussed by the authors.
