English: In the background are Paleocene-aged, nonmarine sedimentary rocks of the Sentinel Butte Formation, weathered and eroded into badlands topography. The foreground landscape is an area of subsidence (sinking) caused by a subsurface coal fire that burned from 1951 to 1977.
From a park service trail guide: Collapse In this area, there was a 12-foot thick coal vein deep underground. In 1951, it caught fire and burned for 26 years. As it burned away, the rocks above were left unsupported and the surface collapsed, forming [this] depression. Burn Out Visitors could see smoke, glowing coals, and sometimes flames. They even roasted marshmallows over the fire! Ignition [The] coal vein ignited during a lightning storm in 1951. Even today, these natural fires can be started by lightning, prairie fires, or even spontaneous combustion. Locality: along Coal Vein Trail, Little Missouri Badlands, South Unit of Roosevelt National Park, western North Dakota, USA |
