Definition and formation: Sandstone is a common roof rock above many coal beds. It is especially common beneath paleochannel deposits, and transitional with some stackrock deposits. Thicksandstone mine roofs commonly offer good roof conditions. Sandstone tops may have local weaknesses along bedding, however, which can lead to roof falls.
Get priceDefinition and formation: Cutouts are areas where a coal seam is truned by noncoal rock (generally sandstone, but not uncommonly finegrained rock). Rolls are areas where a noncoal rock (generally sandstone) cuts through overlying roof rock to the top of the coal, causing the coal to bend or bow down beneath it, without a loss of seam height.

The longwall "panel" (the block of coal that is being mined) is typically 34 km long and 250400 m wide. Longwall mining produced 176 million tons of coal in 2007, about 15 percent of total U.S. production.
