Summary[edit]

Description
English: Bituminous coal from the Pennsylvanian of Ohio, USA. (bedding plane view)

Bituminous coal is one of the "soft coals" - it is a higher rank coal than lignite or sub-bituminous and lower rank than anthracite. It is relatively soft, weathers and breaks into blocks, is moderately sooty to the touch, and is finely laminated. This sample is from the Upper Freeport Coal at Linton, Ohio.

The shiny discoid structures at top and upper right are conchostracans - valves of "clam shrimp". They are preserved in fissile cannel coal that's adhering to the bituminous coal. The letter "C" indicates a bedding plane contact between cannel coal (below) and bituminous coal (above), both of which make up the Upper Freeport Coal interval in the Linton area.
