Paleobotany and paleoecology of coal

This volume includes sections on Mineral Deposits (7 chapters on metals and 4 on industrial minerals); Oil and Gas (3 chapters on principles and 12 synthesizing major oil and gas basins); and Coal (3 chapters on principles and 5 synthesizing major coal provinces, including Alaska). Six large plates summarize distribution resources of all resources discussed in the text, two more plates compare cross-sections of major oil and gas basins at a common horizontal and vertical scale, and another shows a major reconstruction of a Pennsylvanian coal swamp.
