Geology
| Unknown Neither the Coal Reports nor the mine notes gave seam or depth information. Several seams were mined in the surrounding areas. The Danville, Herrin, Springfield and Colchester Coals are all less than 200 feet deep in this area and have been mined nearby. The most likely candidates are the Danville Coal or a locally thick un-named coal that was made accessible by nearby quarrying operations.
