Plate P9.
Coal and shaly coal. 3. T5818; Hole 1109D; 969.89 mbsf. Coal
with telovitrinite, detrovitrinite, resinite, sporinite, and liptodetrinite. The
telovitrinite contains some weakly fluorescing tissues that probably represent
periderm, and the telovitrinite may be derived from root tissues. The textures
and maceral composition are not those typical of mangrove/Nypa swamps, and it is
more likely that this peat was formed in an inland setting (reflected light;
field width = 0.22 mm; telovitrinite reflection = 0.30%).
