All of the red material is vitrinite and the black material is inertinite. The feature in the center of the field is a megasporinite. Note  the center of the megaspore which is the contact where the top and bottom of the orinigal spherical spore came together. The small yellow features are sporinite. 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)
