Thanks for the references. I have ordered the first last week. I will
order the second. I would say that this "phenomenon" is not as common as
you think. I have spent the past couple of weeks chasing down references
for various claims that a tree goes through more than 2 coal seams. So far
all I have found are a few cases where a tree goes through one coal seam and
is truncated by the next.
Humphries claimed that trees went through 20 different horizons but when I
checked his reference, it said that there were 20 different layers with
trees attached over a 2500 foot interval. This is quite a misunderstanding
on the part of Humphries.
A question, have you PERSONALLY seen a tree going through several coal seams?
