DEF

A coal microlithotype that contains a combination of inertinite and exinite.

OBS

The term microlithotype was developed to permit the designation of rock types within coal that are at a microscopic scale and their definition is based on maceral percentages. All macerals have a suffix "-inite" and microlithotypes have the suffix "-ite." Thus, layers greater than 0.05 mm in thickness and consisting of greater than 95% vitrinite are termed vitrite. Bimaceral (clarite, durite and vitrinertite) and trimaceral (duroclarite and clarodurite) microlithotypes have names that are derived from lithotypes rather than macerals.
