Name Origin
The O'Nan Coal Member of the Spoon Formation (Kosanke et al., 1960, p. 32) is named for Dennis O'Nan Ditch, which flows across the tip of Indian Hill, Union County, Kentucky, the type locality (Glenn, 1912, p. 25).
Other Names
It previously was called the Curlew Coal (Owen, 1856, p. 47).
Correlation
It is now believed to be equivalent to the Bidwell Coal.
Extent and Thickness
The O'Nan Coal is generally thin, seldom over 1 foot thick in its scattered occurrences in southern Illinois.
