He negotiated with landowners to extract the coal, mined it, sold it, and delivered it. The bituminous coal found in West Virginiaâs Upshur County is dated as Carboniferous Period and Pennsylvanian Epoch, which is supposed to have lasted from roughly 323 to 298 million years ago (Anonymous, 1997). Obviously, a discovery like that of the bell would present a serious problem for the evolutionary timescales.
Coal: Coal is fossilized plant material, and varies greatly in itâs properties. There are four main types. Antracite is âhard coalâ has 86-98% carbon content and has 13-15 thousand BTUâs per pound. Bituminous is âsoft coalâ has 45-86% carbon content and 10-15 thousand BTUâs per pound. Sub-bituminous has about 35-45% carbon content and 8-13 thousand BTUâs per pound, and generally lower sulfur content. Lignite is âbrown coalâ geologically speaking, with a low 25-35% carbon content, and between 4 and 8 thousand BTUâs per pound.
