Plate P13. Dispersed organic matter. 1. T5842; Hole 1115C; 514.24 mbsf. Leaf preserved in claystone. The leaf no longer contains the tissues within the cuticle (mesophyll tissue). However, these must have been there at the time of deposition, otherwise th

Plate P13. Dispersed organic matter. 4. T5856; Hole 1116A; 110.93 mbsf. Elongate and anastomosing occurrences of telovitrinite that appear to represent in situ root tissue. Elongate structures such as these do not normally remain intact during transport. Therefore, an in situ origin is likely. Pyritization of the vitrinite has occurred (reflected light; field width = 0.56 mm; mean vitrinite reflectance = 0.34%).
