  Lignite
In 1988, a 221,799 ton sample of Arkansas lignite mined in Saline County was successfully test-burned in a local power plant as a blend of up to 20 percent lignite and coal from the western United States.
Lignite is present at shallow depths in sedimentary strata of Eocene age in the West Gulf Coastal Plain and along Crowley's Ridge in the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain.
Lignite beds in the Claiborne Group are lenticular, generally of limited areal extent, and may locally exceed 10 feet in thickness, their average thickness is much less.
