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 202/12-1 was undertaken and samples were taken for palynology in order to provide additional facies information and age determinations. Samples 1 to 3 (1358.12 to 1361.41 m) yield age diagnostic palynomorphs indicating Early to Late Volgian ages. Sample 2 at 1359.8 m contains Dingodinium tuberosum and Gochteodinia villosa which bracket the age of the sample around the late Mid Volgian and the early Late Volgian (Oppressus–Primitivus zones) (Riding and Thomas, 1992). Marine influence is indicated periodically through the interval studied although the very sparse samples cannot be given a robust classification.
