Abstract/Summary

During Phase 3 of the BGS Faroe-Shetland Consortium project on the Jurassic of the UK sector of the Faroe-Shetland Basin, graphic/lithological logging of core from well 204/19-1 was undertaken. Five samples for palynology between 4209.40 and 4222.80 m were collected in order to provide age determinations and palaeoecological interpretations. The palynomorph assemblages were extremely sparse with the exception of sample 5 at 4222.8 m. This horizon yielded an Early Cretaceous dinoflagellate cyst flora indicative of a maximum age of earliest Barremian. Other elements in sample 5 suggest that a post Barremian age is unlikely but not impossible. The remainder of the samples, between 4209.4 and 4219.55 m produced sparser palynobiotas which are devoid of marker species. Marine deposition prevailed throughout the succession investigated.
