Abstract/Summary

As part of Phase 3 of the BGS Faroe-Shetland Consortium project on the Jurassic of the UK sector of the Faroe-Shetland Basin, detailed logging of core from well 206/05-1 was undertaken. Nine core samples were taken for palynology between 3155.08 and 3901.90 m in order to provide age determinations and additional facies information. Samples 1 to 6 (3155.08 to 3269.07 m), yielded sparse palynomorph floras including the dinoflagellate cyst Ambonosphaera staffinensis in sample 6 (3269.07 m). This occurrence indicates a Late Jurassic, probably Mid Oxfordian to Mid Volgian, age. The palynologically productive interval between 3155.08 and 3269.07 m represents marine deposition. The interval between 3272.08 and 3901.90 m (samples 7 to 9) proved entirely barren, and cannot be dated.
