Data are shown as average percentage on an ash-free basis. Sample locations are given in appendix 1; sample intervals are shown on figure 3. HM = humotelinite, EC = "eu"-corpohuminite, PC = "pori"-corpohuminite in humotelinite, EG = eugelinite, DG = detrogelinite, ECG = "eu"-corpohuminite in attritus, PCG = "pori"-corpohuminite in attritus, FUS = fusinite, ITD = inertodetrinite, SCL = sclerotinite, MAC = macrinite, SPR = sporinite, CUT = cutinite, RES = resinite, RSD = resinite in attritus, SUB = suberinite, EXD = exsudatinite, BIT = bituminite, FLR = fluorinite, ALG = alginite, LPD = liptodetrinite, T-HUM = total huminites, T-INR = total inertinites, T-LIP = total liptinites, S. No. = sample number, ave = average, T = trace (< 5 counts/1000). The following were not found: semifusinite, and "pori" gelinite. Sample 4500.1 was not point counted because its ash yield was greater than 50%.
