Fig. 7. Light microscopic images and Raman spectra of Type A and Type B filaments.

Fig. 7

a, b TLM (a) and reflected light microscopy (RLM) (b) photomicrographs of the same Type A filament. c TLM photomicrograph of Type B filament. d, e Raman spectra of Type A and Type B filaments acquired on locations marked by circular dots in a and c, respectively, showing characteristic bands for low-grade carbonaceous material, including D1-band at ~1350 cm–1 and G-band at ~1580 cm–1 in the first order region (1100–1800 cm–1), and bands at ~2700 and ~2900 cm–1 in the second-order region84. Raman bands at ~340 and ~380 cm–1 are characteristic of pyrite (FeS2)85. Both analyzed filaments are from Datang (sample 17DT-A-9).
