Faunal counts of planktonic foraminifera and sea surface temperatures from ODP Site 983 ...

This dataset contains faunal counts of planktonic foraminifera and calculated (MAT) sea surface temperatures from ODP Site 983. Sediment samples from the splice of ODP Site 983 [Jansen et al., 1996] were spun overnight and washed with deionised water through a 63 μm sieve before being dried at 40°C....

Description
Summary:This dataset contains faunal counts of planktonic foraminifera and calculated (MAT) sea surface temperatures from ODP Site 983. Sediment samples from the splice of ODP Site 983 [Jansen et al., 1996] were spun overnight and washed with deionised water through a 63 μm sieve before being dried at 40°C. IRD and faunal counts were made on the >150 μm fraction after splitting to yield approximately 300 entities. IRD was considered as the total number of lithogenic/terrigenous grains counted. Only left coiling specimens of N. pachyderma were counted and all 5 morphotypes of N. pachyderma found in recent Arctic sediments [Eynaud, 2011] were counted. ...
