Lumps of high-grade anthracite coal
Anthracite. Specimens of anthracite coal, a hard, lustrous sedimentary rock derived from vegetable debris. Anthracite is a slow-burning, relatively smokeless fuel which gives out intense heat and is used in the production of coal gas, and in the iron, steel and synthetic rubber industries. It occurs in Paleozoic rocks (230-570 million years ago), in particular the Carboniferous of North America (Appalachian Mountains) and Europe, and the Permian of China, Siberia and Australia. This sample comes from south eastern British Columbia, Canada

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two lumps of high-grade anthracite coal, a remarkable sedimentary rock formed from ancient plant matter. Anthracite is known for its exceptional hardness and glossy appearance, making it highly sought after in various industries. With its slow-burning properties and minimal smoke emissions, this fuel source provides intense heat and plays a crucial role in the production of coal gas, as well as the iron, steel, and synthetic rubber sectors. Originating from south eastern British Columbia, Canada, this particular sample represents the widespread occurrence of anthracite across different regions. It can be found in Paleozoic rocks that date back to an astonishing 230-570 million years ago. Notably abundant in North America's Appalachian Mountains and Europe's Carboniferous formations, anthracite also exists within China's Permian deposits along with Siberia and Australia. The intricate details captured by Science Photo Library highlight the unique composition of these two lumps of anthracite coal. While not mentioning any commercial use specifically associated with this image print, it serves as a testament to the geological significance and historical importance of fossil fuels like anthracite. This photograph invites us to appreciate both the natural beauty and industrial value embedded within our planet's rich resources.
