FIG. 6 in Non-pollen palynomorph and palynofacies assemblages from the Lower Cretaceous of Iraq: A glimpse into palaeobiology and palaeoenvironment

FIG. 6. — Palynofacies assemblages retrieved from the Yamama Formation: A, palynofacies dominated by AOM seen under transmitted light, 09-242-1_E43 (reillustrated from El Atfy et al. 2016); B, non-fluorescent AOM; 09-242-1_E43 (re-illustrated from El Atfy et al. 2016); C, palynofacies assemblage composed mainly of fine granular, yellow to grey marine AOM, presumably of algal origin that contains pyrite crystals, dinocysts and microforaminiferal linings, 09-234-3_X42; D, transmitted light shows brown particles,membranes, thin films and amorphous substances, presumed to represent biodegraded terrestrial AOM, 09-243-1_E43 (re-illustrated from El Atfy et al. 2016); E, non-fluorescent AOM, 09-243-1_E43 (re-illustrated from El Atfy et al. 2016); F, gelified AOM, presumably of terrestrial origin palynofacies assemblages, 09-243-2_V33; G, Leiosphaeridia Eisenack, 1958 cluster, 09-234-3_Q49; H, resin particles seen in transmitted light showing different degrees of angularity and also cracking on the surface, 09-242-3_Q35; I, equidimensional opaque/microcharcoal particle, 09-262; J, Palambages relic structures in AOM matrix and opaque organic matter, 09-234-3_O48; K, framboidal pyrite, 09-234; L, partially oxidized pyrite aggregates, 09-255. Scale bars: 20 μm.
