Excerpt from Report on the Coals of Southeastern Ohio, Tributary to the Bellaire, Zanesville and Cincinnati Railway and Projected Lines
While the thickness of the strata composing each of these four divisions varies greatly, we may in a general way say that each of the productive measures is about 250 feet thick and each of the barren measures 500 feet thick. Commonly all the groups thicken as we approach the Ohio river from the west.
