Shed coals from flysch association tend to be not very thick and contain a low ash content. The contents of Pb in coal and coal ash of these shed coals is higher, while Zn content is lower than the contents of Pb and Zn in the coals and coal ashes from paralic and limnic series of the USCB. A relationship between Pb and Zn and organic matter of coal was noted. Element sorption by organic matter had probably a significant impact in reaching present-day contents of ash, and Pb and Zn in coal.
