Geological Problems Reported:[edit | edit source]

The coal was overlain by 5 to 6 feet of Dykersburg Shale. In the northern part of the pit, only a black shale was present directly over the coal. Some slip fractures were present in the seam. Pyrite was abundant in the cleats. The Herrin Coal was mined in a few places where it was not eroded under the glacial drift.
