Home My WebLink AboutGMC Data Report No. 154Geochemical and pellet data of a 8060 foot depth core sample from the Tenneco OCS Y-0388-1 (Phoenix) well. Received 4 December 1989 Revised 22 February 1990 Total of 3 pages in report State of Alaska Geologic Materials Center Data Report No. 154 Observed small round translucent pelletoid material in a core chip from 8060' from the Tenneco OCS Y-0338-1 (Phoenix) well. The translucent pellets did not break down in metholene chlorite, but they did flash under heating. A chunk of it (small piece of core consisting dominately of pellets) was dissolved in HC1 and the following geochemical analysis was done on the residue after the HC1 evaporated.

State of Alaska Geological Materials Center P.O. Box 772116 Eagle River, AK 99577 Attn: Dr. John Reeder Curator RE: OCS-Y-0338 #1 (Phoenix) Core Sample (8060') Dear John, The core sample I examined while at the GMC last April 1989 appears to contain numerous megaspores which probably belong to the genus Tasmanites. This core sample came from 8060' in the OCS-Y- 0338 #1 (Phoenix) well. The age of the rocks would appear to be Early Triassic at that depth, however a slightly younger Middle or Late Triassic age cannot be entirely ruled out. Sincerely, Michael B.
