Geophysical logs and coal sections for four holes drilled in the Emery East quadrangle, Emery County, Utah

Four holes, for a total of 2,330 feet, were drilled in the Emery coal field, Utah, in April 1980 by the U.S. Geological Survey (fig. 1). Two of the holes were partially cored. The purpose of the drilling was to obtain information on the thickness, quality, and extent of the coal in the Cretaceous Ferron Sandstone Member of the Mancos Shale, and on the lithology of the surrounding rocks. Core samples were obtained to be used for coal quality and trace element analyses. The project is in support of the U.S. Geological Survey's continuing program to evaluate and classify Federal coal resources and lands in the public domain.
