All of the red material is vitrinite except for a few resinite ovoids. The back material is inertinite. The yellow material is material is sporinite except for the feature at the center of the field that is a megasporinite. Note the darker area in the center of the megasporinite which is the contact where the top and bottom of the orinigal spherical spore came together. The white areas are holes in the thin section formed during the polishing process. (transmitted light, Harlan Seam, eastern Kentucky, width of field, left to right: ~350 µm)
