Plate P10.
Coal and shaly coal-cork cells and suberinite. 4. T5818; Hole
1109D; 969.89 mbsf. Strongly fluorescing suberinite seen in section
approximately parallel with the surface of the wood. The typical oblong shape of
cork cell is seen, and a compound cell wall structure can be resolved. This
consists of a weakly fluorescing middle lamella flanked by more strongly
fluorescing secondary cell walls. The secondary cell walls are thicker but are
thin compared with the secondary cell walls of some cell types; see, for
example, Plate P8
(reflected light; field width = 0.22 mm; mean vitrinite reflectance = 0.28% for
sample).
