Algunos califican de hulla a todo carbón mineral, otros excluyen a la antracita de esa denominación genérica. Más racional parece la clasificación que tiene en cuenta el estado de fosilización de la materia vegetal de que constan esos combustibles fósiles y que califica de antracita al más viejo (y que más carbono contiene), de lignito al más reciente (cuya hullificación no es aún completa), de turba a un carbón que todavía se está elaborando y de hulla todos los que, intermediarios entre la antracita y el lignito, constituyen las variedades comunes. 3, record 1, Spanish, - hulla
