Excerpt from Correlation of Minable Coals of Illinois, Indiana, and Western Kentucky<br/><br/>The political boundaries Which separate the states of Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky divide the great Eastern Interior coal basin into three unequal parts. Although the strata, including the coal beds, pass without interruption from one state into another, each part possesses its own individual system of nomenclature, long ago adopted and still in general use.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive study of minable coals in Illinois, Indiana, and Western Kentucky, which are part of the Eastern Interior Coal Basin. The author presents a detailed correlation of coals from different parts of the basin, using various criteria such as the character of the coal, nature of floor and roof, partings, fossils, and intervals between coals or key strata. The book discusses the historical development of coal nomenclature in these states and the challenges encountered in correlating coal seams due to variations in the geological succession. It highlights the importance of understanding sedimentary cycles and the significance of key horizons in coal correlation. The author also examines the impact of geological processes, such as thickening and thinning of strata, on coal development and distribution. Overall, this book offers invaluable insights into the stratigraphy and correlation of minable coals in the Eastern Interior Coal Basin, providing a valuable resource for geologists, mining engineers, and anyone interested in the historical and geological aspects of coal mining in the region.
