Geological Problems Reported
The top vein (Herrin Coal) was abandoned in 1890 because the quality was unsatisfactory. The roof was a hard gray shale with 4 inches of draw slate on the bottom (adjacent to the coal). Some horsebacks were observed. The Colchester Coal had a pyrite band and scattered pyrite lenses up to 1 inch thick.
