Plate P2.
Wood tissues preserved as vitrinite, variable textures, and reflectance. 2.
T5848; Hole 1115C; 737.63 mbsf. Same as figure 1 but in fluorescence mode. Weak
fluorescence from the cell contents but stronger fluorescence from some parts of
the cell walls, possibly indicating that cellulose or a partial breakdown
product of cellulose is still present. Some of the more diffuse brighter patches
may represent some show-through from mounting resin below the sample—the
vitrinite being relatively translucent (reflected light; field width = 0.22 mm;
vitrinite reflectance = 0.37%).
