Multiple coal seams can exist in a reserve, with each coal seam separated by sedimentary rock interburden. Coal, and the rock above and below the coal seam, is primarily layered sedimentary rock in origin, as opposed to igneous or metamorphic rock. The noncoal layers are usually sandstone, limestone, shale, siltstone, and mudstone.

coal mining - Coal deposits | Britannica
In geologic terms, coal is a sedimentary rock containing a mixture of constituents, mostly of vegetal origin. Vegetal matter is composed mainly of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and some inorganic mineral elements. When this material decays under water, in the absence of oxygen, the carbon content increases. The initial product of this decomposition process is …

Sedimentary Rocks | Revision World
Sedimentary rocks are formed when eroded fragments of old rocks and dead organisms settle (usually in seas or rivers) to form a sediment. Over millions of years, layers of sediment build up and are buried one on top of the other. They are compressed, and their weight squeezes out the water. Eventually the pieces of rock in the sediment become ...
