Little coal has been mined in California for 30 years, though the estimated resources of 90.7 million metric tons (Averitt, 1975, p.43) has caused a resurgence of interest in its potential during the energy crisis of the 1970s. The occurrence of coal has been reported in 43 of the 58 counties of California; the major coal-bearing areas are shown in figure 1. Generally, coal beds are of Cretaceous to Pliocene and Pleistocene age and range in thickness from less than 1 meter (m) to about 7 m. The rank of coal ranges from lignite to high-volatile B bituminous coal. Thirty-five references concerning coal deposits in California are annotated in this bibliography. These reports are considered to be the most comprehensive of more than 130 references available on coal deposits in California. Current (1978) stratigraphic information has been added to the text in brackets where appropriate. Reports on coal published prior to 1922 were listed in a bibliography compiled by Boalich (1922) and some of these reports are annotated in the present bibliography.
