HYDROCARBON AND BRINE INCLUSIONS: Up. Permian (Guadalupian) Yates Fm., Eddy Co., New Mexico. A comparison of plane-polarized transmitted light (left) and ultraviolet epi-fluorescence (right) views of hydrocarbon and brine inclusions in replacement quartz crystals. Note the brownish color of the hydrocarbons in transmitted light and the vapor bubble in the oil. The hydrocarbons also are clearly distinguishable by their strong fluorescence. Chapter 30: Analytical Techniques; p. 440. Memoir 77: A Color Guide to the Petrography of Carbonate Rocks: Grains, textures, porosity, diagenesis by Peter A. Scholle and Dana S. Ulmer-Scholle
