Samples from a 120 m deep boring in the Statfjord Field of the northern North Sea revealed mostly glacialage foraminiferal assemblages, some of stadia] and some of interstadial character. An assemblage ofinterglacial character occurred at 52 m below sea floor. This interglacial is called the Statfjord Interglacialand is probably correlatable with the Eemian of northwestem Europe. The boring is divided into eightbiostratigraphical units, the paleoecology of which is discussed.
