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 205/22-1A was undertaken and samples were taken for palynology in order to provide additional facies information and age determinations. This generally poor run of samples lacks good age-diagnostic palynomorphs. Specimens of Cicatricosisporites and Tuberositriletes occur at sample 8 (3219.75 m). These highly ornamented spores indicate Late Jurassic (Volgian) or Cretaceous strata (Dörhöfer, 1979). Pollen and spore assemblages of a general Jurassic/Cretaceous aspect occur at Sample 1 (3177.46 m) and Sample 9 (3221.52 m).
