Palynology of the interval 3169.84 to 3173.41 m of well 206/05-2, 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 206/05-2 was undertaken and samples were taken for palynology in order to provide additional facies information and age determinations. Analysis of kerogen and palynological assemblages revealed a generally poor run of samples lacking good age-diagnostic palynomorphs. A Volgian or younger age is tentatively assigned in Sample 5 at 3172.49 m by the presence of the spore genus Cicatricosisporites.
