The ostracod fauna from the Maastrichtian white chalk of Denmark includes 95 species representing 34 different genera. The qualitative composition is rather homogeneous throughout the strata studied, indicating a mature and well-balanced community in middle to outer shelf environments. Two biozones in the Danish Maastrichtian are established on the basis of ostracod species.
