Page 100 - KANAWHA SERIES GENERAL ACCOUNT AND SECTION. The Kanawha Series or Upper Pottsville Rocks begins at top with the Homewood or Roaring Creek Sandstone and extends down through the rock column to the top of the great Nuttall Sandstone of the Kanawha Valley, and as thus limited has a maximum thickness of about 1200 feet in the latter region as against 1800 to 1900 feet on Tug Fork in southeastern Mingo County, representing an expansion to the southwest of 600 to 700 feet. The series was first named by...

Page 25 - The hillsides are broken frequently by narrow flat benches, marking the deposits of shale and coal that separate the massive ledges of sandstone that compose the greater part of the surface rocks. These benches are not readily seen from the valleys, as their narrowness and the forest that usually covers the hills give the appearance of a slope that is uniformly steep. The tops of the ridges are sharp, being frequently only wide enough for narrow trails along them. There are numerous low divides and...
Page 25 - The erosive work of the stream has been more rapid along the anticlines than along the synclines so that the topography is no guide to the structure. At close range, however, the narrow shale and coal benches, where exposed by clearings, are of considerable help in following structure. These benches are often obscured by the...

The analysis shows a coal high in sulphur and somewhat high in ash. At this point the coal has been mined on a considerable scale for local use in Camden-on-Gauley and the surrounding neighborhood, the gray shale at the bottom being taken up to secure head room.
