Frame ID: TS48

The central feature is resinite. The red matrix material and the black material is inertinite. Note the deformation of the other macerals around the resinite. This indicates that the resinite was rigid when it was incorporated into the peat that formed the coal. The striations running across the frame are artifacts from polishing.
