Lamalginite

Lamalginite

Lamalginite is a structured organic matter (alganite) in sapropel, composed thin-walled colonial or unicellular algae that occur as distinct laminae, cryptically interbedded with mineral matter. It displays little or no recognisable biologic structures. Lamalginite fluoresce brightly in shades of yellow under blue/ultraviolet light.Cite paper
