English

Subject field(s)
  • Petrography
DEF

A constituent intermediate between vitrinite and fusinite showing a well-defined structure of wood and sclerenchyma. The cell cavities, either round, oval, or elongated in cross section, vary in size but are generally smaller and sometimes less well defined than those of fusinite.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pétrographie

Constituant à mi-chemin entre la vitrinite et la fusinite, de structure nette, habituellement régulière, de bois ou de sclérenchyme, et dont la dimension des cavités généralement plus petites et parfois moins apparentes que celles de la fusinite, varie sensiblement (à section ronde, ovale ou allongée).

Record 3 2012-03-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Petrography
OBS

... a collective term for constituents of the inertinite group... Inertodetrinite consists of small fragments and fine particles(approximately 2-20 microns in size) of varying, often splintery or angular form, for example, cell-wall fragments of fusinite, semi-fusinite and sclerotinite.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pétrographie
DEF

Macéral finement détritique du groupe de l'inertinite, constitué par de petits fragments ou par des particules de formes diverses, souvent anguleuses ou en éclats, provenant, par exemple, de parois cellulaires brisées de fusinite, de semi-fusinite ou de sclérotinite.

Record 4 2012-03-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Petrography
OBS

This term was proposed to simplify the nomenclature of coal petrography by combining, in a single term, the group of the following macerals : micrinite, semifusinite, fusinite, sclerotinite.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pétrographie
DEF

Groupe macéral du charbon relativement inerte durant le processus de cokéfaction [et qui] comprend la fusinite, la semifusinite, la micrinite, la macrinite, la sclérotinite.

OBS

Par souci de simplification de la nomenclature pétrographique des charbons, l'on utilise le terme «inertinite» pour désigner l'ensemble des macéraux suivants : micrinite, semifusinite, fusinite, sclérotinite. Les constituants de l'inertinite ne sont pas toujours totalement inertes. Ils sont simplement plus inertes que les macéraux des deux autres groupes, en particulier lors de la cokéfaction, parce qu'ils agissent comme des amaigrissants.
