| Caption | Herrin Coal at the S Coal surface mine near Elkville, IL. Herrin coal at the base of the highwall ‘splits’ or separates apart both to the right and left from a central intact portion, with Energy shale intercalated between the upper and lower coal benches. Coal splits that are found close to penecontemporaneous river channels, such as this example near the Walshville paleochannel, are likely formed by erosion at the channel margins that creates peat flaps that float, followed by sediment deposition infilling below the flaps, and on top. |
