The parameters that used in the exploration of such hydrocarbons are discussed below: 1. Determination of Ancient Shore Lines 2. Sedimentology 3. Post Depositional Alteration of Palynomorphs 4. Biostratigraphy and Palaeo- Environmental Analysis 5. Palynological Assemblages of Coal Seams. 1. Determination of Ancient Shore Lines: The defining of ancient shore lines bears special significance in oil accumulation. It is generally [...]
The following points highlight the four main instruments that are used for collection of core samples. The Instruments are: 1. Hiller Borer 2. Russian Borer 3. Piston Sampler 4. Mackereth Sampler. 1. Hiller Borer (Fig.13.1): In this instrument the filling of sediment is done by turning the apparatus anti-clockwise. Here outer, loose jacket with a projecting lip remains stationary and [...]
The following points highlight the two laboratory techniques for the extraction of pollen grains. The techniques are: 1. Pollen/Spore Extraction Procedure 2. Absolute Pollen Counts. 1. Pollen/Spore Extraction Procedure: It is not possible to use the entire core systematically for pollen extraction, hence samples are taken at selected depth intervals along the core. The selection of depth intervals is entirely [...]
