Geology
Geological Problems Reported
The immediate roof was 6 to 30 inches of gray or black shale overlain by up to 12 feet of limestone. The roof was bad where the black shale thickened to 30 inches. A shale or clay band (up to 1/4 inch thick) was persistent in the upper half of the seam. The blue band was about 2 inches thick and 10 inches above the floor. A pyrite band was often seen above the blue band. The bottom 10 inches (below the blue band) was not mined.
