Dette har med gruvearbeid å gjøre. Også, hvis noe vet om ordbok eller list av norske gruvearbeid termer er jeg takknemlig.

I think RTT published a mining dictionary. Unfortunately the machine where I have the RTT dictionaries is experiencing problems at the moment. RTT is now defunct, but some of the dictionaries may still be available. There are also a number of useful English mining glossaries on the Web. I could get back to you on that if it would be useful.

The incident you refer to occurred in a coal mine on Svalbard in January last year. I think the correct term for a layer of rock in a coal seam is \"parting\".
There is a useful glossary of coalmining terms at:

It doesn\'t look as though RTT published a mining dictionary after all. However, you might get some help from Ordbok for energiteknikk and Ordliste for fjellsprengningsteknikk, also published by RTT. Otherwise, it is probably worth owning Prestsæters N-E Technical Dictionary, which has an electronic version available from Wordfinder.
Incidentally, Ordbok for energiteknikk gives \"parting\" for \"mellomstein\". Prestesæter gives \"parting\" and \"dirtband\".
Webster\'s Online (Rosetta) Lists a number of translations of \"dirtband\" with english translations of the translations:
For the German term \"Bergemittel\" it lists \"dirt band\", \"dirt parting\", \"interseam sediments\", \"parting\", \"shale band\", and \"stone band).

The Rosetta gives the following for \"parting\":
A lamina or very thin sedimentary layer separating thicker strata of a different type; e.g., a thin layer of shale or slate in a coal bed, or a shale break in sandstone. Strata tend to separate readily at partings. CF:band b. A small joint in coal or rock, or a layer of rock in a coal seam.
OED has the following:
(a) Mining and Geol. A layer of rock, clay, etc. lying between two beds of different formations
