About 10,000BC

Errr.... catso, if you are talking about the Carboniferous coal measures, then it's a little bit longer than that - in fact it was something over 290 million years ago.

The British Isles were under sheets of ice 10,000 years ago - not your usual conditions for coal forming forests and swamps. 10,000 years ago is also considered 'recent' in geological terms.

Are you disputing they were laid down by 10,000BC, brachiopod? I think they were.
