The yellow crenulated stringers at the top of the field are cutinite and the rest  of the yellow features are sporinite. The red ovoid at the center right is resinite. 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 yellow stringers at bottom of the bottom of the field is  fluotinite. (transmitted light, Harlan Seam, eastern Kentucky, width of field, left to right: ~350 µm)
