Description

Five test borings into the Herrin Coal Member (Pennsylvanian) suggested a broad east-trending anticlinal nose, which Bell (1941) called the Donnellson Anticline. Remapping of the coal structure using additional control points (Nelson 1987b) reveals a structural configuration totally different from that mapped by Bell, and no anticline is present; therefore, the use of the name Donnellson Anticline should be discontinued.
