'''Telalginite''' is a structured organic matter (alginite) in sapropel, composed of large discretely occurring colonial or thick-walled unicellular algae such as ''Botryococcus'', ''Tasmanites'' and ''Gloeocapsomorpha prisca''. Telalginite is present in large algal bodies. It fluoresce brightly in shades of yellow under blue/ultraviolet light.<ref name=dyni> {{Cite web | last =Dyni | first =John R. | title =Geology and resources of some world oil-shale deposits.
