Palynological and thermal maturity analysis of outcrop samples from the Kenai, Seldovia, and Tyonek quadrangles, Cook Inlet region, Alaska

This data release provides palynomorph assemblages, kerogen observations, thermal maturity estimates, age interpretations, and field station locations of palynology samples collected (2006-2011) from measured stratigraphic sections and key middle Eocene to early Pliocene sedimentary rock outcrops throughout the Kenai, Seldovia, and Tyonek quadrangles. Palynological analysis of surface rock samples offers supporting data for geologic mapping and stratigraphic research conducted by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources' (Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys [DGGS] and Alaska Division of Oil & Gas [DOG]) Cook Inlet Basin Analysis Program. The Cook Inlet program provides publicly available baseline outcrop data and geologic findings from the petroleum source, seal, and reservoir rocks of the prospective Cook Inlet hydrocarbon basin. Program products inform interpretations of the geologic processes that shaped the petroleum system's basin evolution. The analytical data tables associated with this report are available in digital format as comma-separated value (CSV) files. Users can access the complete report and digital data from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/30660.
