δ 18 O and δ 13 C of planktonic foraminifer Globigerinoides ruber: Effects of test size sampling and laboratory treatment
The effects of test size sampling and ultrasonic cleaning on stable oxygen (delta O-18) and carbon (delta C-13) isotopes of planktonic foraminifera (Globigerinoides ruber) were evaluated in this study. The G. ruber tests observed under the scanning electron microscope show that shells can be complet...
