Table 3. Petrographic data for the seven lignite samples in the A1 bed, Calvert mine. Data re reported as mean volume percentages on a mineral-free basis. Locations and thicknesses of samples are shown in figure 3. T = trace (<5 counts/1000, res. = resinite, fluor. = fluorescing clays, htel. = humotelinite, det. = detrogelinite, poricorpo. = poricorpohuminite, ecorpo. = eurcorpohuminite, and eugel. = eugelinite.
