- '''Figure 5a''' Wireline log illustrating the typical response of key units. (a) Electric log of Carter Oil #1 Beers well in Sec. 28, T8S, R4E, Williamson County, Illinois (county no. 2107). (b) Gamma-ray–resistivity log of Peabody Natural Gas #2 Short, in Sec. 14, T7S, R7E, Hamilton County (county no. 25375).

(b) Gamma-ray–resistivity log of Peabody Natural Gas #2 Short, in Sec. 14, T7S, R7E, Hamilton County (county no. 25375).
- '''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.
- '''Figure 20''' Photographs showing Springfield Coal “split” by massive siltstone in the Millennium Mine. The lower view is a close-up of the upper view. Notice the ragged splaying of coal layers into the siltstone from both above and below, with one coal stringer crossing diagonally from the lower to the upper coal “bench.” Combined with the absence of roots beneath the upper “bench,” such geometry implies that the upper part of the peat deposit was rafted.
- '''Figure 21''' Photographs of siltstone “splits” in the Springfield Coal. (a) Upper “bench” of coal splitting into multiple layers, with ragged splaying of lower coal layers at the Millennium Mine. (b) Contact between upper coal “bench” and massive siltstone “split” in American Coal’s Millennium Mine, approximately 0.6 mi (1 km) west of the main Galatia channel. Notice complete absence of root traces in the siltstone.
- '''Figure 27''' (Above) Image of the major disturbance in the Wabash mine. From Meier and Harper (1981. (Below) The same drawing with interpretation added, depicting the peat deposit torn asunder, with the upper part floated away from the lower. The seam height at the left side of the diagram is approximately 9 ft (2.7 m).
- '''Figure 36''' Sketches illustrating opposite margins of the Leslie Cemetery channel, as exposed in surface mines. The southern drawing is from Peabody’s Eby Pit in June 1982. The northern view is from Peabody’s Lynnville Mine in July 1983. Approximate locations are indicated in Figure 27 '''NOT THE CORRECT FIGURE NO.'''.
- '''Figure 37''' Interpretive diagram showing sequential development of the Leslie Cemetery channel. (a) The Francisco channel is eroded and filled with sediment, largely sand. (b) Springfield peat accumulates in swale left by the abandoned channel. (c) Flowing water reoccupies the channel during the later stages of peat accumulation. Peat encroaches from the margins as the channel migrates laterally. (d) A marine incursion drowns the region and deposits black shale and limestone. Channel filling inverts the topography because of differential compaction.
- '''Figure 46''' Disruption of the Danville Coal, with the seam “split” by a thick wedge of mudstone. Note the ragged splaying of coal into mudstone, with a thin coal stringer crossing diagonally from the lower to upper bench. The site is the box cut at a portal of the Prosperity Mine in Gibson County, Indiana.
