In the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean up to 35°S, Neogene benthic foraminiferal faunal changes have been interpreted, alternatively, as changes in deep water-masses distribution and organic matter availability. In surface, the Southwestern South Atlantic presents a highly dynamic frontal zone...
