玛丽·斯托普斯（1880-1958）主要是作为一名节育先驱和性学家而被人们铭记，但在她二三十岁的时候，她作为一名古植物学家和煤炭地质学家开创了一个非常成功的职业生涯。本文概述了她早期对英格兰北方石炭纪煤层中发现的煤球-碳酸盐结核的地质研究，这些煤球以美丽的解剖细节保存了泥炭形成植物的遗迹。斯托普斯在她职业生涯的三个间歇期都在做煤球。在第一阶段（1903年初），她是弗朗西斯奥利弗的研究生研究助理在大学学院伦敦，在关键时期导致了“发现蕨类植物”与D。H. Scott.斯托普斯的任务是在英国各地的煤球收藏中寻找关键标本。在第二阶段（1904年末至1907年），她在慕尼黑进行了一年的博士研究，致力于研究范围更广的问题，如煤球的起源、它们的地层分布，以及它们的构造。
Marie Stopes (1880-1958) is chiefly remembered as a birth control pioneer and sexologist, but in her twenties and thirties she carved out a highly successful career as a palaeobotanist and coal geologist. This paper outlines her early geological research on coal balls—carbonate concretions found within the Carboniferous coal seams of northern England, which preserve the remains of the peat-forming plants in beautiful anatomical detail. Stopes worked on coal balls during three intervals of her career. In the first phase (early 1903), she was Francis Oliver's postgraduate research assistant at University College London, during the critical period leading up to the ‘discovery of pteridosperms’ with D. H. Scott. Stopes's role was to hunt down key specimens in coal ball collections scattered across Britain. In the second phase (late 1904-1907), which followed a year of doctoral research in Munich, she grappled with the more broad-ranging questions of the origin of coal balls, their stratigraphic distribution, ...
