Bitumen deposits of northwest Alabama | 1987 | bitumen deposits; northwest Alabama deposits; bituminous rocks | Bituminous rocks of Mississippian age crop out in northwest Alabama within a 113-km (70-mi) long belt. Bitumen deposits have been confirmed by coreholes to be present in the subsurface for a distance of at least 16-24 km (10-15 mi) south of the outcrop. Geochemical analyses indicate the bitumen to b... |
