Observation of the macroscopic structure included color, hardness and density, while microscopic observations were carried out through three sections, namely the Transverse, Tangential, and Radial sections, using Stereo Microscope NIKON SMZ 645 and Research Microscope Eclipse E400 (equipped with a Nikon camera). The counted cells were: Pores (diameter, height, number), Rays (height, width, number), and the percentage of cells. The hardness value was calculated by using a rock hardness tester, namely 'Diamond Selector II'. Meanwhile, specific gravity was calculated by using general calculation standard for specific gravity, namely the ratio of mass to volume. The results showed that microscopically the two samples of wood fossils found were hardwood fossils (broad leaf wood) whose species was not yet known, with the characteristics of mostly solitary pores, uniseriate rays with heterogeneous arrangement. Meanwhile, the macroscopic observations of wood fossils FKM1 showed dark brown, light brown and a mixture of red. The second FKM2 showed light brown, yellow and dark brown colors. The hardness both was 4 on the Mohs scale, while the density were 3.25 and 3.04, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
