Description:The uniform gray material is vitrinite showing remnant plant cell structure that has survived the coalification process. In the ICCP classification this material is– telovitrinite but also called pseudovitrinite. The slit structures, in this case parallel to the direction of the cell structure, are common in this maceral.
