Publication Name: The North West Shelf Australia
Authors: B. Ingram and R. Morgan
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: July 1988

Abstract:

Palynology (the study of acid insoluble microfossils) has grown from a scientific curiosity in the 1830s through a rudimentary time-tool in oil exploration in the 1960s to provide the modern explorer with precise age dating and detailed information o...
