This project is a joint effort of the International Committee for Coal and Organic Petrology (ICCP) and of The Society for Organic Petrology (TSOP). The Classification system was agreed to in 2003 and is a single system for different illumination modes. An Atlas is under preparation which illustrates the appearance of the different dispersed organic components under different illumination conditions and using different methods for sample mounting. Julito Reyes presented the status of DOM Atlas at the Meeting in Oviedo, 2008, on behalf of the Conveners. Carolyn Thompson-Rizer has taken the compilation work on the web site during this year for suggestions and improvements.
Objectives
The purpose of the Classification of Dispersed Organic Matter ICCP-TSOP DOM Atlas WG is to provide a reference atlas to illustrate the appearance of the different dispersed organic components under different illumination conditions and using different methods for sample mounting. The Working Group has been established in 2003 and is a joint effort of the International Committee for Coal and Organic Petrology (ICCP) and The Society for Organic Petrology (TSOP). The first version of the DOM Atlas was completed in September 2010. In 2018, a second version was sent to two independent reviewers (one from TSOP and the other from ICCP) for advice on the suitability of the content for wider circulation.
The Atlas represents a valuable and useful contribution to organic petrology and will provide an excellent resource both for educational purposes and to assist wider professional communication.
The Working Group on Classification of Dispersed Organic Matter ICCP-TSOP DOM Atlas will be open to all petrographers interested in providing photomicrographs to be included in the Atlas. Interested parties are encouraged to contact Paula Alexandra Gonçalves (paula.goncalves@fc.up.pt).
Activities
A preliminary example of the layout of the Atlas was presented at the Meeting in Victoria, 2007.
