Note: 1 – stages of thermal transformation are determined from fluorescence (F) or from color and optical density in transmitted light; 2 – not suitable for paleo-
temperature determination; 3 – stages of thermal transformation are determined from vitrinite reflectance (R); 4 – reflectance is too high; not suitable for paleo-
temperature determination; 5 – react weakly to changes in temperature and pressure; not suitable for paleotemperature determination. 119
