'''Figure 6''' Graphic logs from cores serving as type sections of the newly named members: (a) Energy Plus borehole #ME-13 in Sec. 31, T4S, R6E, type section of Delafield Member. (b) Kerr-McGee borehole #7629-16 in Sec. 29, T7S, R6E, Saline County, type section of the Galatia Member. +
'''Figure 7''' Isopach map of the Delafield Member. From Wanless et al. (1970). Thicknesses are in feet. +
'''Figure 8''' Map from Potter (1962), showing the thickness (in feet) of sandstone between the Houchin Creek and Springfield Coals, with the Galatia channel (from Hopkins 1968) superimposed. +
'''Figure 9''' Photograph showing underclay of the Springfield Coal at American Coal’s Galatia Mine, Saline County, Illinois. Field of view approximately 5 ft (1.5 m) square. +
'''Figure 10''' Map showing the thickness and mined areas of the Springfield Coal throughout Illinois. From Treworgy et al. (1999). +
'''Figure 11''' Photographs showing thinly interlaminated shale and dull to bright coal along margins of the Galatia channel at the Prosperity Mine in Gibson County, Indiana. The lower frame is a closer view of the upper. +

'''Figure 13''' Photographs showing the ragged, erosive contact between light-colored siltstone of the Dykersburg Member and the underlying coaly shale of the Galatia Member, in the channel crossing at Galatia Mine, Saline County. (a) View of the east wall of the entry. Coaly shale of the Galatia Member grades laterally northward (left, out of view) to shaly Springfield Coal. The pick is approximately 2 ft (60 cm) long. (b) Close-up view on the west wall of the entry. The heart of the Galatia channel is south (left) of view. Notice how erosion undercut the clay below layers of tough, fibrous peat. +
