The foraminiferal fauna of the onshore Danish area is presented. Stratigraphically, four biozones are established, i.e. the Middle Oligocene Turrilina alsatica zone and Globigerina zone and the Late Oligocene Asterigerina giirichi giirichi zone and Angulogerina gracilis zone. The regional distribution of these units in the Danish Embayment north of the Ringk111bing-Fyn High is discussed.
