Frame ID:TS67

All of the red material is vitrinite except for a few resinite ovoids. The black material is inertinite and the yellow material is sporinite. The cluster of sporinite in the center of the frame is sporangium, a sack of spores that was buried before it matured enough to break open and disperse the spores.
