Until recently, for many geologists coal was synonymous with the Carboniferous, or Pennsylvanian, but the importance of younger coals is now increasing, as is interest throughout the geologic community. This volume is the first to look at global distribution of coals from a single period other than the Carboniferous. It provides a broad global perspective on the distribution and variation in quality of Cretaceous coals and, because coal accumulation is sensitive to both climate and subsidence, provides useful insights on the evolution of Cretaceous paleoclimates and tectonism.
