Description
Summary:We constructed a high-resolution Mg/Ca record on the planktonic foraminifer Globigerinoides sacculifer in order to explore the change in sea surface temperature (SST) due to the shoaling of the Isthmus of Panama as well as the impact of secondary factors like diagenesis and large salinity fluctuations. The study covers the latest Miocene and the early Pliocene (5.6-3.9 Ma) and was combined with d18O to isolate changes in sea surface salinity (SSS). Before 4.5 Ma, SSTMg/Ca and SSS show moderate fluctuations, indicating a free exchange of surface ocean water masses between the Pacific and the Atlantic. The increase in d18O after 4.5 Ma represents increasing salinities in the Caribbean due to the progressive closure of the Panamanian Gateway. The increase in Mg/Ca toward values of maximum 7 mmol/mol suggests that secondary influences have played a significant role. Evidence of crystalline overgrowths on the foraminiferal tests in correlation with aragonite, Sr/Ca, and productivity cyclicities indicates a ... : Average results are shown from multiple ablation profiles through cleaned G. sacculifer tests from two contaminated, with crystalline overgrowths, samples (14-5-115 and 14-5-125) and two uncontaminated, without crystalline overgrowths, samples (14-5-95 and 14-5-145). The calculated Mg/Ca ratios derived from the LA-ICP-MS measurements agree, within the method standard deviation of 5-10%, to the whole-test ICP-OES measurements performed on the same samples. ...
