Foraminiferal indication of Eemian interglacial in the northern North Sea.

Abstract

Samples from a 120m deep boring in the Stratfjord Field of the northern North Sea revealed mostly glacial age foraminiferal assemblages, some of stadial and some of interstadial character. An interglacial assemblage occurred at 52m below sea floor. This is called the Stratfjord Interglacial and is probably Eemian. The core is divided into eight biostratigraphical units. -from Author
