Alginite
Alginite is a component of some types of kerogen alongside amorphous organic matter.

Amber
Amber is fossilized tree resin, which has been appreciated for its color and natural beauty since Neolithic times.

Anthracite
Anthracite, often referred to as hard coal, is a hard, compact variety of coal that has a submetallic luster.
New!!: Maceral and Anthracite · See more »
Basin modelling
Basin modelling is the term broadly applied to a group of geological disciplines that can be used to analyse the formation and evolution of sedimentary basins, often but not exclusively to aid evaluation of potential hydrocarbon reserves.

Bituminite
Bituminite is an autochthonous maceral that is a part of the liptinite group in lignite, that occurs in petroleum source rocks originating from organic matter such as algae which has undergone alteration or degradation from natural processes such as burial.

Bituminous coal
Bituminous coal or black coal is a relatively soft coal containing a tarlike substance called bitumen or asphalt.

Coal
Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock usually occurring in rock strata in layers or veins called coal beds or coal seams.
New!!: Maceral and Coal · See more »
Coalbed methane
Coalbed methane (CBM or coal-bed methane), coalbed gas, coal seam gas (CSG), or coal-mine methane (CMM) is a form of natural gas extracted from coal beds.

Cutinite
Cutinite is a liptinite maceral formed from terrestrial plant cuticles, and often found in coal deposits.
New!!: Maceral and Cutinite · See more »
Graphite
Graphite, archaically referred to as plumbago, is a crystalline allotrope of carbon, a semimetal, a native element mineral, and a form of coal.
New!!: Maceral and Graphite · See more »
Igneous rock
Igneous rock (derived from the Latin word ignis meaning fire), or magmatic rock, is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic.

Inertinite
Inertinite is oxidized organic material or fossilized charcoal.
New!!: Maceral and Inertinite · See more »
Kerogen
Kerogen is a solid organic matter in sedimentary rocks.
New!!: Maceral and Kerogen · See more »
Lamalginite
Lamalginite is a structured organic matter (alginite) in sapropel, composed of thin-walled colonial or unicellular algae that occur as distinct laminae, cryptically interbedded with mineral matter.
New!!: Maceral and Lamalginite · See more »
Lignite
Lignite, often referred to as brown coal, is a soft, brown, combustible, sedimentary rock formed from naturally compressed peat.
New!!: Maceral and Lignite · See more »
Liptinite
In coal geology, liptinite is the finely-ground and macerated remains found in coal deposits.
New!!: Maceral and Liptinite · See more »
Metamorphic rock
Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form".
New!!: Maceral and Metamorphic rock · See more »
Mineral
A mineral is a naturally occurring chemical compound, usually of crystalline form and not produced by life processes.
New!!: Maceral and Mineral · See more »
Oil shale
Oil shale is an organic-rich fine-grained sedimentary rock containing kerogen (a solid mixture of organic chemical compounds) from which liquid hydrocarbons, called shale oil (not to be confused with tight oil—crude oil occurring naturally in shales), can be produced.
New!!: Maceral and Oil shale · See more »
Petrographic microscope
A petrographic microscope is a type of optical microscope used in petrology and optical mineralogy to identify rocks and minerals in thin sections.
New!!: Maceral and Petrographic microscope · See more »
Pollen
Pollen is a fine to coarse powdery substance comprising pollen grains which are male microgametophytes of seed plants, which produce male gametes (sperm cells).
New!!: Maceral and Pollen · See more »
Spore
In biology, a spore is a unit of sexual or asexual reproduction that may be adapted for dispersal and for survival, often for extended periods of time, in unfavourable conditions.
New!!: Maceral and Spore · See more »
Sporinite
Sporinite is a kind of exinite maceral found in coal formed from spores and pollen.
New!!: Maceral and Sporinite · See more »
Telalginite
Telalginite is a structured organic matter (alginite) in sapropel, composed of large discretely occurring colonial or thick-walled unicellular algae such as Botryococcus, Tasmanites and Gloeocapsomorpha prisca.

Vitrinite
Vitrinite is one of the primary components of coals and most sedimentary kerogens.
