In the present study comparisons are made between the Miocene North Sea sequences and the Danish onshore formations based on foraminiferal biostratigraphy. Foraminiferal faunas of four onshore borings previously analyzed by Kristoffersen have been reviewed. Biozones NSB 9 - NSB 13 of the offshore sequences were all found in the Danish Miocene formations, and the obtained results promise well for a future more detailed correlation between the North Sea and the Danish land area.
