Palynology of the interval 2575.47 to 2610.15 m of well 205/26a-6, Faroe-Shetland Basin

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-6 was undertaken and samples were taken for palynology in order to provide additional facies information and age determinations. The palynological assemblages were very poorly productive with the exception of sample 1 (2575.47m), which contains a dinoflagellate cyst assemblage supporting a Late Jurassic Kimmeridgian or younger age determination. Some samples yielded sufficient residue to allow a count of kerogen types, some samples were almost completely barren.
