Wood tissues preserved as vitrinite, variable textures, and reflectance. 1.
T5848; Hole 1115C; 737.63 mbsf. Woody tissue preserved as vitrinite. Cell lumens
are filled with humic material, but the degree of compression is small and some
fine structure within the wood is preserved. This sample comes from the deeper
part of the sections sampled but is still relatively immature in textural terms.
The fractures (black) are the result of desiccation during and after
preparation. (reflected light; field width = 0.22 mm; vitrinite reflectance =
0.37%).
