A foraminiferal stratigraphy primarily based on the late Axel N0rvangs material from the Skrerumhede I boring has been made. Foraminifera from the marine Skrerumhede sequence show a fauna! 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 fauna! transition from a shallow water boreal assemblage in its lower part through to boreo-arctic conditions in its upper part, and finally a zone (NI) reflecting mainly arctic environment. It is argued that zone N4 represents the Late Saalian, zone N3 the Eemian and zones N2 and Nl the Early and Middle Weichselian.
