===History/background=== ==Type section== ===Type location=== The type section consists of exposures near Tarter Bridge (SE 2, 5N-1E) (Wanless, 1956, p. 9; 1957, p. 67, 202). ===Type author(s)=== ===Type status=== ==Reference section== ===Reference location=== ===Reference author(s)=== ===Reference status=== ==Stratigraphic relationships== The interval from the Tarter Coal up to the Pope Creek Coal is usually only a few feet, and both coals are present in several outcrops. ==Extent and thickness== The Tarter Coal is thin and discontinuous throughout its outcrop area in western Illinois (Wanless, 1957), attaining a maximum thickness of slightly over 1 foot in many scattered outcrops. ==Lithology== ==Core(s)== ==Photograph(s)== ==Contacts== ==Well log characteristics== ==Fossils== ==Age and correlation== The Tarter is correlated with the Willis Coal of southern Illinois and the Lower Block Coal Member of Indiana. ==Environments of deposition== ==Economic importance== ==Remarks== ==References== WANLESS, H.
