Frame ID: TS33

The red material at the top and bottom of the field are vitrinite. The black features are inertinite and the two large black particles are fusinite/semifusinite. The yellow stringer in the lower portion of the frame is fluorinite. The large yellow feature with the textured orange rim is a sporangium, a sack of spores that was buried before it matured enough to break open and disperse the spores All of the red material is vitrinite except for a few resinite ovoids at the bottom left of the frame.
