Coal prospects in eastern Idaho mislead by false rock
A U S Geological Survey bulletin explains that many so called coal prospects in eastern Idaho turn out to be phosphate rock or carbonaceous shale and not usable coal. Two districts, Horseshoe in Teton county and Clark County near Cottonwood Creek, yield small, limited coal. Transportation and market access hinder larger development. The report notes possible oil in the region and directs readers to bulletin 716-F for full details.
