Palynology preparations from 62 samples from several key wells in the Northern Territory section of the Pedirka Basin were examined for Geoscience Australia. The sampling was done by the Geological Survey of NT (see table 1 for sample listing). All resulting slides and remaining residue have been submitted to government. The samples were analysed quantitatively with the first 200 specimens in each sample counted and subsequent species simply recorded as present. In this summary report, the results are provided in tabulated form only. Details of the palynomorph assemblages are recorded on StrataBugs distribution charts, with each taxon expressed as a percentage of the entire assemblage (Appendix B). From this information, assignments are made to the palynostratigraphic scheme of Price (1997), as shown in Figures 1 and 2 and summarised in Appendix A. Wells included are: Blamore-1, CBM 93-002, CBM 93-004, CBM 107-001, CBM 107-002, Hale River-1, Simpson-1, Thomas-1.
