All of the red material is vitrinite and the yellow material is sporinite. The feature in the center of the field is a megasporinite. Note that the center of the megaspore which is the contact where the top and bottom of the orinigal spherical spore came together is filled with a lighter yellow material. This is most likely part of the original spore structure. (transmitted light, Harlan Seam, eastern Kentucky, width of field, left to right: ~350 µm)
