Service Description: The Photomicrograph Atlas IMAP service displays locations where the U.S. Geological Survey Organic Petrology Laboratory has conducted petrographic analysis. Each feature displays photomicrographs and metadata describing organic material found in coal, shale and other geologic material. The Atlas provides a basic tutorial in the nomenclature of organic materials as they occur in sedimentary rocks such as coal and shale, information on the taxonomies used by various groups and organizations, and a database of images related to the characterization of fossil fuel resources in the United States and the world.

Description: With advances in web applications, organic petrography and other related disciplines are in need of updated online resources and educational tools to aid professionals and students in the identification and interpretation of macerals. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Organic Petrology Laboratory along with USGS Geology, Energy & Minerals Science Center staff have developed five web atlases containing images of organic matter in geologic materials: 1.) an American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Atlas, 2.) an Organic Petrology Taxonomy for International Classification (OPTIC) of Coal Macerals Atlas, 3.) an Interactive Gulf Coast Photomicrograph Web Atlas (I-Map), 4.) an Organic Material in Shales Atlas (Shale), and 5.) an interactive Blue/White/Ultraviolet (UV) Light Atlas (Light). Each web atlas contains images of macerals with associated sample and petrographic data collected by the USGS. These webpages will provide means to preserve and circulate petrographic data collected by the USGS for coal and shale samples from all over the world.
