Plate P13. Dispersed organic matter. 2. T5842; Hole 1115C; 514.24 mbsf. Same as figure 1, but in fluorescence mode. The smooth surfaces of the cutinite represent the outer leaf surfaces, and the inner saw-toothed appearance is typical of leaf cuticles. The projection bounds the palisade cells. Commonly, palisade cells are preserved as vitrinite, and their absence in this occurrence suggests strong biochemical decay has occurred, leaving the relatively refractory cuticle intact (reflected light; field width = 0.22 mm; mean vitrinite reflectance = 0.29%).
