Geology
Geological Problems Reported
Slips were noted in the Anna Shale above the coal. The slips sometimes caused roof falls up to the Brereton Limestone. Some roof falls went across four entries and affected several rooms. Concretions were present in the black shale as well, and were up to 2 inches thick and more than 12 inches long. In some places the roof consisted of pods or lenses of gray Energy Shale. Some slips were present in the Energy Shale, but fewer than in the Anna Shale, and some rolls were present in the Energy Shale.
