All of the red material is vitrinite except for a few resinite ovoids at the top of the frame. The back material is inertinite. The feature in the center of the field 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 yellow stringer beneath the a megasporinite is fluorinite. (transmitted light, Harlan Seam, eastern Kentucky, width of field, left to right: ~750 µm)
