Explanation:
IsabelMaria a trouvé la bonne réponse !

Kettlebottoms are fossilized remains of tree trunks that
are cylindrical or oblong in shape and sometimes protrude from
the mine roof. Although most often cylindrical or oblong,
Kettlebottoms have various shapes and do not all look alike.
Kettlebottoms may be surrounded by a ring of coal, or, they maybe
surrounded by slickensided material that consists of smooth and
highly polished planes of weakness that are primarily found in
mines containing shale roof rock.
