Geological Problems Reported
The seam contained pyrite in sheets, lenticular masses, and balls. The lenses were the easiest to separate from the coal, and were generally 3/8 of an inch thick and up to 1 foot across. A clay band was present, and this could not be separated from the coal, resulting in a higher ash content.
