There are thin coal beds that are found in about two thirds of [Iowa]. Low quality, but in some parts of the state the overlaying sediments have been eroded to expose the coal, and shallow mines were done.

My granddad worked at what is now the abandoned site of Durfee, Iowa, East of Bussey in Marion County, which is where my dad was born.
