Influence of penecontemporaneous tectonism on development of Breathitt Formation coals, eastern Kentucky

Conference · · AAPG Bull.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6021961

The Middle Pennsylvanian Breathitt Formation coals beds in the central portion of the Eastern Kentucky coal field exhibit changes in lithology, petrology, and chemistry that can be attributed to temporal continuity in the depositional systems. The study interval within northern Perry and Knott Counties includes coals from the Taylor coal bed at the base of the Magoffin marine member upward through the Hazard No. 8 (Francis) coal bed.
