THE REINHARDT THIESSEN COAL 

THIN-SECTION SLIDE COLLECTION 

OF THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEYCATALOG AND NOTES 

By }AMES M. ScHoPF and ORRIN G. OFTEDAHL 

ABSTRACT 

The Reinhardt Thiessen Coal Thin-Section Slide Collection of more than 19,000 slides 

from 682 different localities includes abundant examples of coal from most American 

coal fields and from other parts of the world. The collection includes examples used 

in early studies of coal, on which the first quantitative system of coal petrography was 

based, and is of historic interest in its relation to studies of the origin of coal and 

coal classification. All available sections studied at the U.S. Bureau of Mines and at 

the U.S. Geological Survey, using Thiessen's system of coal petrography, are included, 

as well as sections of various oil shales and peat. 

The catalog is organized according to coal basins and geographic areas, as is the 

collection, and is intended to facilitate reference. The bibliography includes a complete 

list of the writings of Reinhardt Thiessen, nearly all of which are pertinent to his coal 

studies. 

INTRODUCTION 

The Reinhardt Thiessen Coal .Thin-Section Slide Collection consists 

of more than 19,000 thin sections of coal from all the important American 

coal fields, and many sections from important coal beds in other parts 

of the world. It includes the basic materials prepared during Thiessen's 

career with the U.S. Bureau of Mines, to which have been added the 

similar section preparations made by the U.S. Geological Survey at 

Columbus, Ohio, during the past 23 years. We are indebted to Mr. J. 

T. McCartney of the U.S. Bureau of Mines for the transfer to the Geological Survey of much of the original thin-section collection so that all 

available reference materials can be consolidated and more effectively 

cared for. 

Thiessen devised the first quantitative system of coal petrography, and 

as the collection now represents nearly all the coal beds studied by this 

method, it is appropriate that the collection bear his name. The permanent preparations still serve as voucher examples on which published 
2 REINHARDT THIESSEN COAL THIN-SECTION SLIDE COLLECTION 

analyses are based. This catalog of the collection indicates the materials 

that are readily available and includes a bibliography of Thiessen's publications. Some of the historical developments that led to the accumulation of this important reference collection are described. Arrangements 

for use of the collection may be made at the U.S. Geological Survey National Center, Reston, Va. 

EARLY STUDIES 

In autumn 1907 Reinhardt Thiessen began work for the U.S. Geological Survey. He was a young Ph. D., fresh from C. J. Chamberlain's 

laboratory for plant histology at the University of Chicago, where he 

had completed a dissertation on cycad structure (Thiessen, 1908). He 

was associated with Survey geologists David White and F. H. Knowlton, 

stationed at the U.S. National Museum in Washington, D.C., and there 

he began his career of studies on the constitution of coal. When the 

Technologic Branch of the Geological Survey became the nucleus of 

the separate Bureau of Mines in 1910, Thiessen moved with other members of the technological staff to Pittsburgh, Pa., where he continued 

his studies for the rest of his life. 

In 1913 Thiessen contributed a significant and well-illustrated chapter 

to Bureau of Mines Bulletin 38, the now-classic volume on the origin 

of coal, other parts being written by David White and C. A. Davis. In 

that chapter Thiessen gave much attention to technical methods that 

would prepare coal for microscopic examination without causing more 

alteration or change than could possibly be avoided. He discussed the 

Jeffrey method (Jeffrey and Chrysler, 1906; Jeffrey, 1916) of softening 

and celloidin-embedding for microtome sectioning. The softening procedure used in this method, however, induced changes (artifacts) in the 

structure of the coal. Also discussed was the Lomax procedure (Lomax, 

1911, 1922), in which larger sections were prepared by grinding; this 

method avoids chemical alteration. Lomax was a renowned British preparator of thin sections of permineralized plant tissues in coal balls; he 

used much the same method in preparing thin sections of coal. Many 

of Lomax's sections are still preserved and, from the standpoint of size, 

are remarkable products of the lapidarist's art. Alteration of inherent 

structure was avoided in these sections, but few of the large sections could 

be produced to the critical thinness that Thiessen later demonstrated 

is essential for resolution of sig~1ificant microscopic features. All these 

methods were investigated by Thiessen with the objective of resolving 

significant microscopic detail and avoiding artifacts that would interfere 

with observation of structures naturally inherent in the coal. 

Thiessen's thin-section procedure was perfected as his studies continued during World War I. These studies resulted in a report (Thiessen, 

1920) on structure in Paleozoic bituminous coals, in which 

Thiessen classified coal into essentially ·two components- the coarse-
EARLY STUDIES 3 

textured anthraxylon, derived from the woody or sclerotic fragments of 

plants, and the fine-textured matrix, which he termed "attritus." This 

work led to the establishment of Thiessen's quantitative method of 

petrographic analysis, which was first applied in the cooperative Bureau 

of Mines-American Gas Association program of the 1930's. 

Thiessen's characterization of anthraxylon in 1920 set off a controversy with Dr. Marie Stapes, who had been engaged in somewhat 

similar studies in British laboratories during the war (Stapes and 

Wheeler, 1918). While Thiessen's report was in press, Stapes (1919) published a somewhat similar terminology for coal ingredients, in which 

she used the terms "vitrain," "clarain," "durain," and "fusain~" She had 

described these ingredients essentially as megascopic band types, but, 

relying on the study of Lomax sections for microscopic details, she regarded vi train as a consolidated colloidal gel lacking any vestige of tissue 

structure, not as the result of tissue consolidation and alteration, as implied by Thiessen's description of anthraxylon. The question naturally 

arose as to what extent anthraxylon was equivalent to vitrain. 

If the two were equivalent, then the differing descriptions by Stapes 

and Thiessen raised a serious question as to the origin of this major 

constituent of coal. That the bright bands in American coal were derived 

from tissue had been firmly established by Thiessen's studies, but whether the bands in British coal were of similar derivation was not clear. 

This question was not resolved untill926, when Thiessen, during a visit 

to England, studied British coal and demonstrated the ubiquity of tissue 

structure in vitrain bands that Stapes supposed had a uniform gel like 

composition. The inherent similarity of anthraxylon and vitrain thus 

was proved; only the method of quantitative estimation-megascopic 

or microscopic study-differed. However, this critical difference was 

obscured because at that time, quantitative coal-petrologic studies were 

not systematized, and only qualitative, or semiquantitative estimates, at 

best, were generally reported. 

The need for a scientific system of coal classification in this country 

was recognized by many who had been concerned with coal resources, 

including members of the Geological Survey and Bureau of Mines. 

Several systems had been proposed. All had some disadvantages, and 

none of the systems had been widely adopted or generally used. Coal 

classification should indicate concisely the genera·l characteristics that 

are important in practical applications. It should minimize the need for 

specific analyses, because facilities for these determinations are not always at hand. Classification is intended to group together coals that have 

similar properties and to distinguish those· that have significantly different characteristics. The movement that led to standardization of an 

appropriate system was instituted by George H. Ashley, at that time 

Pennsylvania State Geologist, formerly a geologist with the U.S. Geol-
4 REINHARDT THIESSEN COAL THIN-SECTION SLIDE COLLECTION 

ogical Survey, who had been detailed for work with the Solid Fuels Administration during World War I. His broad experience emphasized the 

need for a classification, and the use-classification that he advocated 

(Ashley, 1920, 1923, 1926) served as an admirable starting point for detailed consideration by all who were concerned with uses and occurrences 

of coal. Studies of this important problem were initially sponsored by 

the American Institute of Mining Engineers (AIME) in a series of programs and symposia. Later on, responsibilities were divided for detailed 

consideration by committees operating under the auspices of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Chemical analyses were 

primarily emphasized, but the extent to which original plant composition influenced the results of chemical analysis remained unresolved. 

Thiessen clearly discerned the problem and contributed discussions at 

several symposia. (See bibliography.) 

A QUANTITATIVE SYSTEM 

Thiessen's method of quantitative microscopic analysis was devised 

largely as a means of providing numerical data about the lithologic contribution of various kinds of coalified plant material. His success was 

due, in part, to the administrative support and urging of Dr. A. C. 

Fieldner, initially in his capacity as Superintendent of the Pittsburgh 

Experiment Station and later as Chief of the Fuels and Explosives Branch 

of the U.S. Bureau of Mines. About 1930 Fieldner assigned Thiessen the 

principal task of producing a quantitative coal-petrologic system. 

Thiessen had participated in several symposia that showed the need for 

a system indicating concisely the inherent plant composition of coal. 

Fieldner had then taken a most active part in organizing a Committee 

on Coal and Coke under the ASTM which operated under rules and 

procedures of the American Standards Association. 

In 1931 Thiessen described the general method he used for determining 

microscopic characteristics and provided the first quantified results for 

samples from the Taggart coal bed in Wise County, Va. Subsequent 

microscopic studies were carried out by similar methods and dealt with 

samples from the Elkhorn coal of Letcher County, Ky., the Chilton 

bed of Logan County, W. Va., the Black Creek coal bed of Alabama, 

the Pittsburgh coal bed at several localities in Pennsylvania, the Herrin 

(No. 6) coal bed of Illinois, and many others, as indicated in the bibliography. 

Thiessen did not work entirely by himself. After 1930, he was ably 

assisted by Hugh J. O'Donnell and George C. Sprunk. O'Donnell developed into a superb thin-section preparator and was largely responsible 

for preparing consistent series of uniform thin sections through the 

thickness of a great variety of coal beds, such as the Matanuska coals 

in Alaska, Arkansas lignite, and Meadow Branch coal in West Virginia. 

Prior to O'Donnell's work with the Bureau, Thiessen had used the hack-
QUANTITATIVE SYSTEM 5 

saw method of shaping blocks for sectioning, which was advocated by 

Lomax and which is still in common use for some purposes (Allman 

and Lawrence, 1972). However, this was the period in which the resinbonded silicon carbide cut-off wheel was being developed, primarily for 

shaping materials in metallurgy. O'Donnell saw these wheels used in 

the Metallurgy Section of the Experiment Station at Pittsburgh and 

was responsible for adapting them for cutting and shaping coal blocks 

rapidly without shattering, and cleanly without contamination. 

George C. Sprunk, trained in college as a chemist, became an expert 

coal microscopist. Systematic application of the Whipple Disc Counting 

Technique, which had been introduced by Thiessen, was meticulously 

carried out by Sprunk for many of the series of coal sections. After 

Thiessen's death, Sprunk (1942) was responsible for determining that 

the relatively opaque constituents of coal-fusain and opaque attrituswere much more resistant to liquefaction under test conditions for hydrogenation than were the translucent constituents. Both O'Donnell and 

Sprunk provided able assistance in preparing the extensive series of partially carbonized test specimens that enabled Thiessen to establish conclusively that the anthraxylous part of the coal forms the "incipient 

vacuoles" in coking and is responsible for the fusion properties of coals 

that have coking propensity. O'Donnell, Sprunk, and Thiessen constituted an ideal working research team, which was terminated in 1938 by 

Thiessen's untimely death. By this time, a systematic procedure had been 

established requiring oriented specimens. Unfortunately, the system is 

not suited to bulk-sampling procedures or to study of broken and disoriented specimens. Discussions of the system have been provided by 

Parks and O'Donnell (1949) and by Schopf (1956). The Thiessen system 

has been so widely used that it provides the most critical basis for detailed 

comparison of the in situ petrographic composition of deposits of American coal. 

In 1943 Sprunk was called from his work with the Bureau of Mines 

by more critical work in Detroit, and la~er by family responsibilities at 

his parents' home in Adrian, Mich. J. M. Schopf was appointed to take 

his place at Pittsburgh on studies largely concerned with wartime exploration for western coking coal. Thin sections prepared in connection 

with most of these investigations are included in the collection and are 

reported in this catalog. Upon Schopf's transfer to the U.S. Geological 

Survey to take up paleobotanical studies, B. C. Parks was appointed to 

aid in coal-petrologic studies with the U.S. Bureau of Mines. One of 

the notable later achievements of Parks and O'Donnell (1956) was a 

summary of the results of all coal petrographic studies made at the Bureau 

of Mines to 1955, by Thiessen's method, on American coal beds. 

In 1949, when a search began for uranium in western low-sulfur coal 

deposits, Schopf was placed in charge of the coal geology laboratory of 
.6 REINHARDT THIESSEN COAL THIN-SECTION SLIDE COLLECTION 

the U.S. Geological Survey in Columbus, Ohio. In addition to the systematic processing of coal cores for chemical determination, an objective 

of this work was to determine whether any particular plant constituents 

served as uranium accumulators. Many coals, from northwestern South 

Dakota, southwestern North Dakota, and from the Red Desert area and 

the Powder River basin, Wyoming, were investigated, using a more detailed elaboration of the Thiessen method. This laboratory work showed 

conclusively that no individual plant component was responsible for 

uranium accumulation in coal; however, a correlation was found between permeability of coal and uranium-bearing ground water. The 

more permeable fine-textured attrital coal contained far more uranium 

than denser adjacent woody layers. These results had also been predicted 

on the basis of field studies. All thin sections of western coal studied 

for uranium are in the Thiessen Coal Thin-Section Slide Collection. 

In addition to his coal studies, Thiessen (1920, 1925, 1929, 1930, 1934, 

1936-37) investigated the composition of peat and of oil shale. Peat was 

thin sectioned after it had been compressed over a period of weeks or 

months to remove excess water and to eliminate much of the air. Oil 

shale, a denser rock, is generally amenable to the coal thin-section method 

of preparation without special treatment. Sections of carbonaceous rocks, 

resulting from Thiessen's studies and from other studies at the U.S. Geological Survey coal geology laboratory in Columbus, Ohio, during the 

past 25 years, also are in the collection. Included are examples of Australian "kerosene shale" and of torbanite from Scotland, from Autun, 

France, and from Ermelo, South Africa. The compositions of these rocks 

all contrast strongly with those of samples from the Green River oil shale 

in the Western United States and from Albertite deposits in New Brunswick, Canada. The Broxburn oil shale, most recently mined in Scotland, 

contrasts strongly with all of these. The marine Chattanooga and Ohio 

black shales also are different and are shown to be closely allied with 

the black "slates" overlying coal beds. No other method of study shows 

as clearly the differences and similarities of these various kinds of carbonaceous rocks. 

ORGANIZATION OF THE CATALOG 

The catalog and the thin-section collection have been organized into 

nine units-five major units based on coal basins and States of the 

United States, one unit for foreign areas, and three units dealing with 

special coal sections, oil shale, and peat. In general, within the first five 

units, coals from the larger basins are grouped together. This system 

works adequately for the large number of slides from the Appalachian 

and the Interior basins and for the fewer slides from individual smaller 

Paleozoic coal basins in the United States. This arrangement accommodates virtually all bituminous or higher rank Paleozoic coal of the 

United States. However, the system loses some value for western coals, 
CATALOG ORGANIZATION 7 

where rank is more obviously related to stage of metamorphism and 

where the coals generally are geologically younger. For these coal areas, 

a double division has been adopted. The Tertiary lignite of the Great 

Plains, Gulf Coast, and Mississippi Embayment has been grouped with 

the mostly Cretaceous-age subbituminous- and bituminous-rank coal of 

the Rocky Mountain States. The Cretaceous and Tertiary coals of the 

western coastal States and Alaska have been grouped together irrespective 

of rank. 

The only individual States represented in two different major regions 

are Kentucky and Arkansas. Eastern Kentucky is included' under the 

heading "Appalachian Basin," and western Kentucky, under the heading "Interior Basin." Arkansas is listed under "Other Paleozoic Basins" 

and "Rocky Mountains And Lignite Areas." A regional sequence of 

States, rather than an alphabetical sequence, has thus been established. 

Each State or part of a State has been given a specific letter designation, 

generally an abbreviation similar to that used by the U.S. Postal Service. 

The abbreviation is used to prefix specific slide-box numbers for items 

included from within each State. 

Within each State, the primary listing is according to the name of 

the coal bed. Unidentified coal beds are listed alphabetically by county; 

miscellaneous items that are not easy to identify are always listed last. 

All miscellaneous slides, even if poorly labeled, have been preserved because their identities may be established later, and this information 

would increase their usefulness. 

Materials of foreign origin are alphabetized according to country and 

locality. Numbered boxes of slides from foreign sources are indicated 

by a three-letter abbreviation. Of historic interest is one thin section, 

and the remaining small fragm~nt of coal from which it was prepared, 

obtained on Admiral Byrd's 1937 Antarctic Expedition. Although not 

extensive, the foreign examples provide comparative petrographic information about many coal-producing areas in the world. A single capital 

letter combined with lowercase letters is used to prefix box numbers for 

material in the special coal sections, oil shale, and peat. 

The slides for each of the 65 specific area or subject categories are 

stored in numbered slide boxes, usually no more than 25 slides per box. 

Additions can be made within each of the various categories as need 

arises. This method of labeling and indexing should make the collection 

easy to consult and to maintain. 

The collection was arranged and cataloged in detail because nearly 

all the preparations are from localities that are no longer accessible. Even 

if essentially similar coal specimens can be obtained, the preparation 

of thin sections of coal involves a specialized technique which is not 

easy to duplicate. Finally, most coal petrographers recognize the advantage of being able to review the preparations that have been available 

to previous investigators.

The thin sections in this collection represent the basic material used 

for providing data recorded in many published and unpublished reports. 

So far as possible, references to the specific reports based on these sections have been indicated for each pertinent entry in the catalog. Such 

report indications are incomplete, but it is hoped that the references that 

have been identified will be helpful. If users of the catalog note other 

references that should have been included, please call them to our attention. Emendation of this catalog may be possible in the future.
