Frame ID: TS44

The yellow stringer running across the bottom of the field is cutinite. The small yellow stringers are sporinite. The large yellow features are resinite which appear to be filling pore spaces in the original woody tissue. The red ovoid body in the upper right of the frame is also resinite. The red matrix material is vitrinite and the black material is inertinite. The striations running across the frame are artifacts from polishing. (transmitted light, Harlan Seam, eastern Kentucky, width of field, left to right: ~350 µm)
