Foraminifera in Late Saalian, Eemian, Early and Middle Weichselian of the Skaerumhede I boring ( Denmark).

Abstract

Foraminifera show a faunal succession from an arctic environment (zone N4) to deep water boreal and boreo-lusitanian conditions (zone N3). This is succeeded by a zone (N2) containing a faunal transition from a shallow water boreal assemblage in its lower part through to boreo-arctic conditions in its upper part, and finally a zone (N1) reflecting mainly arctic environment. It is argued that zone N4 represents the Late Saalian, zone N3 the Eemian and zones N2 and N1 the Early and Middle Weichselian.-from Authors
