Abstract
The Leslie Cemetery Channel is a small distributary fluvial channel that is partly contemporaneous with the Springfield Coal member of the Petersburg Formation (Pennsylvanian) and splits the seam into two seams. This channel is 1-6 miles (1.6-10 km) wide and extends 30 miles (48 km) in the subsurface. Overbank and channel fill deposits consisting of sandstone, siltstone, and mudstone split the coal into two seams up to 40-50 ft (12-15 m) apart in places. The lower seam is a low-sulphur coal. Adjacent to this channel is the unsplit coal, which is as much as 9 ft (3 m) thick. Beneath the Leslie Cemetery Channel and the Springfield coal is the slightly older Francisco Channel (new name), which is younger than the next lower coal. This channel is filled with a fining-upward sandstone as much as 75 ft (23 m) thick. The positions of these stacked channels were determined by the differential compaction of earlier sediments. 20 references.
