 | | The histogram of europium abundances in all West Virginia coal beds shows a near-normal, slightly skewed distribution with a mean of 0.33 ppm (± 0.17 ppm) on a whole coal basis. |
 | | Europium correlated slightly with ash yield and scandium (Sc), thorium (Th), chromium (Cr), vanadium (V), lead (Pb) and lithium (Li) related to ash forming minerals. |
 | | Europium is one of the rare earth elements and correlated mainly with the other rare earth elements samarium (Sm), cerium (Ce), ytterbium (Yb), terbium (Tb), lutetium (Lu), lanthanum (La), neodymium (Nd), erbium (Er) and dysprosium (Dy). |
