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 205/20-2 was undertaken. Thirteen core samples were taken for palynology between 2958.81 and 2999.78 m in order to provide age determinations and additional facies information. Samples 5 to 13 (2970.35 to 2999.78 m) all proved barren of, or very sparse in, identifiable palynomorphs, and hence no age assessments are possible in this succession. By contrast, the uppermost interval (samples 1 to 4; 2958.81 to 2968.08 m) is interpreted as being of Kimmeridgian to Middle Volgian age (Eudoxus to Anguiformis zones) based largely on sparse dinoflagellate cysts.
