Monongahela Group[edit]

@Zigismon, Hughesdarren, and Abyssal: Is Monongahela Group a separate topic, or should it redirect here (like the talk page does)? Certes (talk) 13:31, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Monongahela Group is a geologic unit of many smaller formations and members. It is host to a number of commercially viable coal seams in western Pennsylvania. The Monongahela Formation is used further west where the unit thins and does not contain near as much coal (if any) Several of the units that make up the Monongahela are over 50 feet thick. https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Geolex/Units/Sewickley_3778.html here is one of dozens of referenced stating that this is in fact a recognized geologic group within Pennsylvania.
