Microphotographs showing the characteristics of the main microfacies detected in sample ID # 60 where the combustion residues are affected by water action. (a) Microfacies 2; matrix composed of ‘clotted’ calcite (C) with sparitic calcite formed by dripping water infilling voids (V) (indicated by red arrow). PPL. (b) Microfacies 3; modified planar and complex voids (V). PPL. (c) Microfacies 3; charcoal dots dispersed in the matrix. PPL. (d) Microfacies 4; laminated coating above the cemented calcite (indicated by red arrows). PPL. (e) Microfacies 5; sub-rounded bone fragment (B), pale brown in PPL. (f) Microfacies 8; phosphate nodules from degraded coprolite fragments (indicated by red arrows) and sub-rounded vesicle (V) indicative of cold conditions. PPL.
