Geological Problems Reported
The coal contained gas pockets. A paleochannel about 150 feet wide cut through some of the roof rock and some coal. The roof consisted of 2.5 feet of black shale under 6 inches of clod under 2.5 feet of limestone cap rock. Numerous coal balls were present in the black shale. The coal had numerous horsebacks. The lowest 2 inches of coal was generally black jack, consisting of a mixture of pyrite, coal, and shale.
