Correlation of Marine Miocene Bolboforma Zonation and Uvigerina Zonation in Northern Germany

Regional Uvigerina zonation (benthic foraminifers) is correlated to global Bolboforma zonation (incertae sedis) and to Neogene calcareous nannoplankton zonation (NN) in the Nieder Ochtenhausen, Wursterheide, Twistringen, GroB Pampau, Schwarzenbek and Lubtheen Miocene profiles, and in the Lower Rhine area Miocene (Northern Germany). The results enable age determination of Uvigerina zones and thus good age control of the marine sequences as well as a determination of nearshore hiatuses and gaps in the area investigated
