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 205/26a-5Z was undertaken and samples were taken for palynology in order to provide additional facies information and age determinations. Analysis of kerogen and palynological assemblages indicate a marine anoxic basin with little terrestrial input. The dinoflagellate cyst assemblage in the lowermost sample (MPA 67544; 2960.84 m) indicates a Kimmeridgian to Early Volgian age. The overlying samples are Kimmeridgian or younger.
