===History/background=== ==Type section== ===Type location=== The type locality is along Pope Creek (cen. 33, 14N-2W) (Wanless, 1929, p. 52; 1956, p. 9). ===Type author(s)=== ===Type status=== ==Reference section== ===Reference location=== ===Reference author(s)=== ===Reference status=== ==Stratigraphic relationships== The upper part of the coal is truncated in places by the Bernadotte Sandstone, but more commonly the coal is overlain by a gray shale several feet thick. ==Extent and thickness== The Pope Creek Coal is widespread in the western Illinois outcrop belt, where it is as much as 3 feet thick and averages about 1 foot (Wanless, 1957). ==Lithology== ==Core(s)== ==Photograph(s)== ==Contacts== ==Well log characteristics== ==Fossils== ==Age and correlation== The Pope Creek has been correlated with the Delwood Coal of southern Illinois, the Upper Block Coal Member of Indiana, and the No. 3 (Ice House) coal of western Kentucky. ==Environments of deposition== ==Economic importance== ==Remarks== ==References== WANLESS, H.
