Three sediment cores (A10-01, -02 and -08) from the Maxwell Bay, King George Island, Antarctica were quantitatively analyzed for foraminiferal fauna. Planktonic foraminifera of three cores are rare due to the special Antarctica environment. Benthic foraminifera is mainly composed of Globocassidulina...
