Summary[edit]

Description
English: Plate XXIV from The Geology of the Richmond Basin published by USGS, which has the following caption:
Plan and Section of Raccoon Coal Mine, near Winterpock. (After Clifford.)
The text of the report refers to this figure as follows:
The Raccoon shaft.—The accompanying plate, reproduced from a paper by Mr. Clifford, sets forth all the known information concerning the abandoned Raccoon shaft, on the eastern margin, near the Appomattox River (see PL XXIV). The middle seam in this section is the thickest, the coal-bearing beds being comprised within 100 feet of strata. The pinches or rolls where the basement rock takes the place of the coal beds is well shown in the section. A similar disturbance of the section was observable in a slope driven through the old workings of the Cox shaft at Winterpock in 1896.
