Dear Members,
At Liege University we are currently working on Tertiary fuzinized 
wood specimens. Often we face difficulties when identifying 
cross-field pitting types of charred conifer wood. Sometimes, other 
features such as bordered pits or bars of perforation plates seem to 
have been altered by the charcoalification. Is somebody aware of 
experimental research on this subject? Could somebody advise us about 
papers that describe and discuss the changes that occur in charred 
secondary xylem?
Thanks a lot - All the best,
Philippe Gerrienne
