Late Pleistocene‐Holocene benthic foraminiferal distribution in the southwestern Barents Sea: Paleoenvironmental implications
A benthic foraminiferal stratigraphy from the southwestern Barents Sea indicates that foraminifera were reworked and deposited in tills during the last glaciation. The deglaciation occurred in three main steps: (1) Presence of an Elphidium excavatum dominated assemblage > 13,300–12,000 B.P. (2),...
