Abstract
Based on plankt onic foraminifera, 7 zones and 4 subzones can be recognised in the Upper Tertiary of the Taranaki Basin. These zones are compared with the New Zealand stage classification. There is also a striking correspond ence with similar sequences established in Australia and other parts of the world.Keywords
