Error report - ORA-02330: datatype specification not allowed 02330. 00000

I was trying to create two object-relational tables and wanted to create a foreign key in the department table to reference the primary key of the employee table. It throws "ORA-02330: datatype specification not allowed" when I try to create the DEPARTMENT TABLE when I try to create the department table.

CREATE or Replace TYPE EMP_TYPE AS OBJECT
 (
EMP_ID INTEGER,
EMP_FNAME VARCHAR2(20),
EMP_LNAME VARCHAR2(25),
ADDRESS VARCHAR(30),
SALARY   NUMBER (10),
JOB_TITLE   VARCHAR2 (20));

CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE OF EMP_TYPE (EMP_ID PRIMARY KEY);

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE DEPT_TYPE AS OBJECT(
DEPT_ID INTEGER,
EMP_ID INTEGER,
DEPT_NAME VARCHAR(20),
LOCATION VARCHAR(20));

CREATE TABLE DEPARTMENT OF DEPT_TYPE (EMP_ID FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES EMPLOYEE(EMP_ID))

The last line is the one that throws the error
