Abstract
As part of a continuing program by the U.S. Geological Survey to collect and chemically analyze representative samples of U.S. coals, 45 coal samples were collected from the Upper Cretaceous Mesaverde Formation, Grand Mesa coal field, Delta and Mesa Counties, Colorado. These samples were collected from cores (30 samples, 11 locations), mines (11 face channel samples, 9 locations), and from drill cuttings (4 samples, 1 location).
U.S. Geological Survey sample numbers, index map locations, coal thickness or depth interval sampled, and brief descriptions for the 45 samples are listed in table 1. Sampling locations are shown in figure 1. Geophysical logs for all samples summarized in this report can be found in Eager (1978,1979).
