RECENT PLANKTONIC FORAMINIFERA FROM DEEP-SEA SEDIMENTS FROM THE EASTERN EQUATORIAL PACIFIC: PROXIES OF THE EQUATORIAL FRONT IN THE LATE QUATERNARY
ABSTRACT Planktonic foraminifera recovered from 25 deep-sea sediment samples (core-tops) from the eastern Equatorial Pacific were analyzed for their geographic distribution and possible environmental controls. Samples collected deeper than the carbonate lysocline (~2800 m) show significant signs of...

Summary: | ABSTRACT Planktonic foraminifera recovered from 25 deep-sea sediment samples (core-tops) from the eastern Equatorial Pacific were analyzed for their geographic distribution and possible environmental controls. Samples collected deeper than the carbonate lysocline (~2800 m) show significant signs of dissolution, -when compared to sediment-trap samples -, resulting in the increase of the solution-resistant species |
