| 2566 | SISTCC | Ganister - A type of quartz-arenite. It is a hard, fine-grained, quartz-arenite, cemented with silica and possessing a splintery fracture. Traces of roots may be visible. It is associated with coal seams. British Geological Survey Research Report RR/99/03, section 13.6.

| 2578 | SLIG | Sapropelic-lignite - A type of coal. It is a member of the sapropelic coal series. The members of the sapropelic coal series can be ranked in order as sapropel (the unlithified form), sapropelic-lignite, and sapropelic-coal (the lithified forms) based on increasing carbon content and decreasing volatile content. Sapropelic-lignite is macroscopically similar to humic lignite. It may be possible to distinguish sapropelic lignites by their homogeneous, non-stratified appearance. If differentiation is difficult, sapropelic lignites can be accurately differentiated by chemical analysis.
