iirc charcoal (coal made from wood) was used first, then stonecoal, then oil

so it was a continuous transition. they didn't just wake up one day and started digging

This is the first I'm seeing "stonecoal" - is that what its really called?

idk in german it's called Steinkohle and Holzkohle, literally "stone coal" and "wood coal"

how would you call it then?

in english the rock kind is just "coal", and the wood kind is "charcoal"
