Abstract:
In the Jurassic of eastern Australia, the principal palynological zonation in use is that devised by Evans (1963, 1966). This scheme, which was based primarily on data derived from the Surat and Eromanga Basins, has been variously modified (eg. Burger, 1968; Burger & Senior, 1979) as new distribution data have become available. In the Surat Basin, the development of a more formal zonation has been limited to the Early Jurassic with the work of Reiser & Williams (1969). However, the zonations of de Jersey (1975, 1976), which are developed mainly for the sequence in the lower part of the Moreton Basin, also have application in the basal succession (Precipice Sandstone and Evergreen Formation) of the Surat Basin.
