Palynological and palynofacies data from the Phillips CB Long C-16 core, upper Strawn Group, Katz Field, Stonewall County, Texas

Description

Palynofacies percentage counts and sporomorph taxon occurrence data from 23 core samples of the upper Strawn Group, Phillips CB Long C-16 core, Katz Field, Stonewall County, Texas. Supporting data for Adejoh et al. (manuscript in review)

Steps to reproduce

23 core samples from the Phillips CB Long C-16 core (Katz Field, Stonewall County, TX) were disaggregated, treated with HCl (24 hr) to remove carbonates, then HF (4 days, agitated) to remove silicates. Residues were neutralized, wet-sieved, and mounted on slides with PVA. Slides were scanned under transmitted light microscopy; palynofacies particles were counted to 200 per slide across five categories (opaque phytoclasts, translucent structured phytoclasts, spores, pollen, AMOM) following Batten and Stead (2005). Sporomorph taxa were identified, photographed, and compared to Palynodata range data for Texas.
