Geology[edit | edit source]

Geological Problems Reported:[edit | edit source]

At least one fault was noted, with the upthrown side to the west. Most of the roof was black shale. Although this shale was hard, it came down readily, partially because slips were common. The coal was the thinnest where the roof was black shale. Numerous concretions up to 6 inches in diameter were present in the black shale roof. The roof was gray shale over sags in the seam and at the top of the swales. Occasional rolls were present, cutting out the coal to within 12 inches of the floor. Pyrite was rather abundant in the coal, but the distribution was very irregular. There were two horizons where pyrite and dull coal lamina thickened to a lens of hard clay and pyrite that was only separated from the coal with difficulty. The floor was composed of a sandy, gritty, hard fire clay. This fire clay broke more readily in a vertical plane than a horizontal plane so that vertical plates of clay 8 inches high were readily removed, making undercutting less difficult than the clay hardness implicated.
