| Caption: | Upper Cannel or Big Gas Coal from the Afton No. 1 Pit, New Cumnock, Ayrshire. |
| Description: | The most important development of cannel coal in the Carboniferous Coal Measures of southern Ayrshire is in the small half-detached basin of New Cumnock. British Geological Survey Petrology Collection sample number MC 7500. Two seams containing cannels have long been known in this basin as the Lanemark and the Boig or as the Upper and Lower Gas coal, though other names do exist. The Upper seam was by far the most important, it was four feet thick resting on one foot six inches of free coal. Typical cannel coals are massive with a satiny lustre, marked conchoidal fracture and do not soil the hands. |
