The article describes the process of the formation of coal. In the geochemical phase of coalification, the sequence of materials as coal matures is wood, peat, lignite, subbituminous coal, bituminous coal and anthracite. Carbon content increases from about 44% in wood to over 90% in anthracite. Two tables outline the common properties of several prominent coals (lignite, subbituminous, bituminous and lignite) found in the USA and describes each of these types, including peat. 3 refs., 1 fig., 2 tabs.
