Rostov Oblast, Russian part of the Donets Basin, Russia
Othercharbon (Hg)
- Type
- Coal deposit (coal of unspecified rank, Pennsylvanian)
Coal seam of unspecified rank, of Pennsylvanian age; mercury with a mean δ202Hg of -0.26 ‰ and Δ201Hg of -0.06 ‰ (Biswas et al., 2008). Non-homogenised sample (VTI); δ202Hg closest to zero among the coals studied. Coordinates not given.
