Named for Wise Ridge, a hill about 3 miles west of the type section.

It previously was called the Stonefort Coal (Wanless, 1939, p. 30, 103). ===History/background=== ==Type section== ===Type location=== The type section is a roadcut in Stonefort, Williamson County (NE SE 25, 10S-4E). ===Type author(s)=== ===Type status=== ==Reference section== ===Reference location=== ===Reference author(s)=== ===Reference status=== ==Stratigraphic relationships== It is commonly separated from the Stonefort Limestone (above) by 1-2 feet of black fissile shale. ==Extent and thickness== The coal is lenticular but is widely present in southern Illinois. It is generally less than 3 feet thick and is very thin at some places. ==Lithology== ==Core(s)== ==Photograph(s)== ==Contacts== ==Well log characteristics== ==Fossils== ==Age and correlation== ==Environments of deposition== ==Economic importance== ==Remarks== ==References== KOSANKE, R.
