    Abstract

    A lithostratigraphical subdivision of the Jurassic sequence in the Norwegian-Danish Basin is proposed. The outlined stratigraphy is the preliminary result of the work within the Danish subcommittee for Jurassic lithostratigraphy in the North Sea. The Fjerritslev Formation and the Haldager Formation are used in accordance with the original description, but it is proposed that the former is subdivided into three members. It is proposed that the Børglum Formation and the Frederikshavn Formation are treated as members and included in a new formation.

    A short review is given of the Jurassic sedimentary sequence in the Central Trough.
