An examination on the structural features of some coal samples from Makum coalfield, Assam (India) were carried out by using scanning electron microscopy. The morphological characteristics of the macerals were recognized. Collinite was recognizable by its angular shape with characteristic fracture patterns and striated or laminated surfaces. Sporinite particles showed no well-defined shape. Fusinite was remarkable in having a chunky needle form. Chemical and petrographic characteristics of these coals also have been reported. These findings have shown prime importance in fingerprinting the physical structure of these coals.
